Abstract
BACKGROUND Osler-Weber-Rendu syndrome is characterized by mucocutaneous telangiectasia and arteriovenous malformations in organs. Anesthesia for patients with Osler-Weber-Rendu syndrome is challenging due to complications and physiological changes. CASE PRESENTATION The case was a 49-year-old female with Osler-Weber-Rendu syndrome, multiple pulmonary arteriovenous malformations and pheochromocytoma who presented for femoral bone head fracture with metastatic adenocarcinoma. The patient was scheduled to undergo bone tumor resection and artificial bone replacement, being positioned laterally with a planned operation duration of 5 h. Anesthesia was managed with spinal and epidural anesthesia, combined with sedation by sevoflurane using a supraglottic airway (SGA) device under spontaneous breathing. Her intraoperative and postoperative courses were uneventful. CONCLUSION Neuraxial anesthesia combined with general anesthesia using an SGA device to maintain spontaneous ventilation in order to minimize the risk of rupture of pulmonary arteriovenous malformations could be an option.

Abstract
PURPOSE Pheochromocytoma crisis is a life-threatening endocrine emergency that requires prompt diagnosis and treatment. Because of its rarity, sudden onset, and lack of internationally uniform and validated diagnostic criteria, pheochromocytoma crisis remains to be fully clarified. Therefore, we aimed to describe the clinical characteristics and outcomes of pheochromocytoma crisis through a literature review. METHODS We performed a systematic literature search of PubMed/MEDLINE database, Igaku-Chuo-Zasshi (Japanese database), and Google Scholar to identify case reports of pheochromocytoma crisis published until February 5, 2021. Information was extracted and analyzed from the literature that reported adequate individual patient data of pheochromocytoma crisis in English or Japanese. Cases were also termed as pheochromocytoma multisystem crisis (PMC) if patients had signs of hyperthermia, multiple organ failure, encephalopathy, and labile blood pressure. RESULTS In the 200 cases of pheochromocytoma crisis identified from 187 articles, the mean patient age was 43.8 ± 15.5 years. The most common symptom was headache (39.5%). The heart was the most commonly damaged organ resulting from a complication of a pheochromocytoma crisis (99.0%), followed by the lungs (44.0%) and the kidney (21.5%). PMC accounted for 19.0% of all pheochromocytoma crisis cases. After excluding 12 cases with unknown survival statuses, the mortality rate was 13.8% (26/188 cases). Multivariable logistic regression analysis revealed that nausea and vomiting were significantly associated with a higher mortality rate. CONCLUSION Pheochromocytoma can present with different symptomatology, affecting different organ systems. Clinicians should be aware that patients with nausea or vomiting are at a higher risk of death because of pheochromocytoma crisis.

Abstract
Pheochromocytoma has a significant effect on perioperative hemodynamics; however, little is known about the changes caused by pheochromocytoma in pregnant women during cesarean delivery. Moreover, cesarean delivery in pregnant women with pheochromocytoma is often performed, along with pheochromocytoma removal, under general anesthesia depending on the time of delivery. Therefore, changes in the hemodynamics of these patients during cesarean delivery under spinal anesthesia combined with epidural anesthesia, along with their serum catecholamine concentration, have not been reported. In this report, we describe the changes in the maternal intraoperative hemodynamics and serum catecholamine level of a pregnant woman with pheochromocytoma who underwent cesarean delivery under combined spinal-epidural anesthesia at 35 weeks of gestation. No significant change in the hemodynamics and serum catecholamine level was observed, and the procedure was carried out safely. Cesarean delivery in an optimized pheochromocytoma patient under combined spinal-epidural anesthesia might be feasible without concurrent surgical removal of pheochromocytoma.

Preoperative Alpha-Blocker Therapy in Patients with Missed Preoperative Diagnosis of Extra-Adrenal Retroperitoneal Paraganglioma Undergoing Resection: A Retrospective Study of 167 Cases at a Single Center. Neuroendocrinology 2022; 112:457-466.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Preoperative α-adrenergic blockade is thought to decrease perioperative risks and mortality in surgeries for adrenal pheochromocytoma. However, there are limited data on the efficacy of α-blockers in surgeries for retroperitoneal paragangliomas. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of the preoperative α-adrenergic blockade on outcomes in patients undergoing surgery for extra-adrenal retroperitoneal paraganglioma. METHODS We searched the clinical database for patients diagnosed with extra-adrenal retroperitoneal paraganglioma by postoperative histopathology in the General Hospital of People's Liberation Army in China from 2000 to 2017. We compared the preoperative status of patients, preoperative examination, preoperative preparation, intraoperative and postoperative cardiovascular events, intake and output, length of stay in the intensive care unit, length of hospital stays, and short-term outcomes between patients who received preoperative treatment with α-adrenergic blockade and those who did not. RESULTS Of the 167 patients enrolled in the study, 61 received preoperative α-adrenergic blockade therapy. Intraoperative heart rate elevation and highest heart rate were higher in patients undergoing tumor manipulation with preoperative α-adrenergic blockade than those who did not (p < 0.05). However, there were no significant differences between these 2 groups in terms of intraoperative blood pressure elevation and systolic blood pressure decrease following tumorectomy (p > 0.05). Moreover, there were no significant differences in postoperative complications and outcomes (p > 0.05). CONCLUSION Under the current medical practice, resection of extra-adrenal retroperitoneal paraganglioma can be successfully carried out with or without preoperative α-adrenergic blockade.

[PMID: 33864763 DOI: 10.1016/j.amjmed.2021.03.015] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/12/2021] [Revised: 03/06/2021] [Accepted: 03/08/2021] [Indexed: 12/28/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Pheochromocytoma is a rare cause of acute cardiovascular disease; however, any severe illness may have high catecholamines, simulating pheochromocytoma. We determined the spectrum of urine metanephrines from inpatient and outpatient collections without pheochromocytoma, compared with confirmed pheochromocytoma patients. METHODS Retrospective analysis using centralized laboratory data serving all outpatients and hospitals in southern Alberta. The analysis comprised 24-hour urine normetanephrine and metanephrine (UNM-UMN) results collected from hospital inpatients, community outpatients, and patients from a comprehensive provincial pheochromocytoma registry. RESULTS There were 974 unique inpatients (including 132 from intensive care), 6802 outpatients, and 58 pheochromocytoma patients. Among outpatient, general ward, and intensive care unit (ICU) patients, 18.7%, 34.4%, and 67.4% of results, respectively, were supranormal. Although pheochromocytoma patients had higher median UNM-UMN vs inpatients, there was substantial overlap. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) analysis showed area under the curve (AUC) of 0.64-0.91 to detect true pheochromocytoma (P < .0001), with progressively poorer discrimination among hospitalized and ICU-dependent patients. A 24-hour urine normetanephrine >6.95 nmol/d had 98% specificity for pheochromocytoma when inpatient general ward samples were included, but only 46% sensitivity and 13% positive predictive value for pheochromocytoma. Considering ICU collections, 98% specificity required results more than fivefold above the upper reference limit and still had poor positive predictive value. A model combining both UNM and UMN results as a cross-product marginally improved the ROC AUC, but improved sensitivity in outpatients and ward patients but not ICU patients. CONCLUSION There is a high degree of overlap in UNM-UMN between hospitalized patients and pheochromocytoma; high test specificity is not achieved in this population unless >3-5 times the upper reference limit.
