title: Phaeochromocytoma in pregnancy: timing of surgery, mode of delivery and magnesium.
abstract: Phaeochromocytoma in pregnancy is rare. It is associated with high rates of fetal and maternal mortality especially in undiagnosed cases. There are no reliable data comparing outcomes regarding the timing of removal of tumour, or comparing outcomes between vaginal and caesarean delivery. Management should be individualized based upon consultation between the mother, obstetrician, anaesthetist, surgeon and physician. Magnesium infusion should be considered peripartum and/or at the timing of tumour resection.
