Abstract

A case of pheochromocytoma with renal artery stenosis was presented. A 11 year old boy was admitted to our pediatric depart, of KUH with chief complaints of headache and vomiting. Urinaly excretion of VMA was 5.9mg in 24 hour collections. Regitine test was positive but histamine test and BMR were not performed. Abdominal aortogram showed nonvisualization of the left kidney with marked collateral circulation from the mesenteric arteries. Selective left renal angiogram showed marked stenosis at the proximal portion of the main renal artery with marked delayed excretion of the contrast. After resection of tumor without nephrectomy the blood pressure was stabilized and general symptoms began to improve. Post op. 6th day, an intravenous pyelogram showed normal visualization of the both side kidney. The histological diagnosis was extraadrenal pheochromocy toma
