Resumo

BACKGROUND

Pheochromocytoma, a catecholamine-producing tumor seldom encountered in pregnancy, is often heralded by nonspecific symptoms and undue mortality with delayed diagnosis. The presence of an aortic pseudoaneurysm poses a management challenge given the risk of aortic rupture amplified by hypertensive events.

METHODS

A 30-year-old woman, gravida 3 para 1, presented at 23 6/7 weeks of gestation with vomiting, chest pain, and severe hypertension. Investigation revealed adrenal pheochromocytoma and pseudoaneurysm at the site of a previous aortic injury. Prazosin and phenoxybenzamine achieved α-blockade with subsequent addition of labetalol for β-blockade. Concerns for aortic dissection led to endovascular aortic repair at 30 2/7 weeks of gestation. A female neonate was delivered by urgent cesarean delivery for persistent postprocedure fetal bradycardia. An adrenalectomy followed with near-immediate symptom resolution. Mother and neonate remain well.

CONCLUSIONS

The case underscores the necessity of a meticulous approach to hypertension management and the pivotal role of diligent multidisciplinary collaboration to achieve a safe outcome.
