Abstract
Treatment with a combination of norepinephrine and doxazosin was effective in a patient with pheochromocytoma who had blood pressure fluctuation, hypotension, and recurrent syncope. After adrenalectomy, his blood pressure, heart rate, and plasma levels of catecholamines remained normal and stable without any medication. (Level of Difficulty: Beginner.)
