title: Atypical presentation of pheochromocytoma: Central nervous system pseudovasculitis.
abstract: Pheochromocytoma has atypical presentation in 9%-10% of patients. Atypical presentations include myocardial infarction, renal failure, and rarely cerebrovascular events. Various etiologies for central nervous system (CNS) involvement in pheochromocytoma have been described in the literature. A rare association of CNS vasculitis-like features has been described with pheochromocytoma. We report a rare case of pheochromocytoma detected on evaluation for CNS vasculitis-like symptoms.
