ABSTRACT
Pheochromocytoma, is a rare neuroendocrine tumor, which usually presents as hypertension. We report a young male patient, who presented with intracerebral hemorrhage and intractable hypertension. On further evaluation, for uncontrolled secondary hypertension, he was diagnosed to have right adrenal pheochromocytoma. After hemodynamic stabilization, laparoscopic adrenelectomy was performed. Pheochromocytoma crisis presenting as intracerebral hemorrhage and cardiomyopathy is an uncommon phenomena. Even though it is a crisis, it is not a surgical emergency. Proper preoperative hemodynamic stabilization is essential before surgery is performed. An experienced anesthetist, to manage intraoperative fallacies, is warranted. Postoperatively, they must be on lifelong follow-up to watch for recurrence.
