Severe hypertension in surgical patients could cause serious perioperative morbidity and mortality. Pheochromocytoma as a cause for intraoperative hypertension, is a diffucult case to diagnose and treat. Perioperative mortality has a very high incidence in undiagnosed pheochromocytoma cases at induction of anesthesia and during surgery (25-50%). We present and discuss the treatment of a pheochromocytoma case that was diagnosed as a result of intraoperative severe hypertension.
