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
Paragangliomas are rare neuroendocrine tumors that originate in the chromaffin cells of the adrenal medulla or lymph nodes. Paragangliomas manifest in rare cases as catecholamine crisis, leading to heart failure, intracranial hemorrhage, renal failure, arrhythmias, pulmonary edema, or multisystem failure. Takotsubo cardiomyopathy is also called apical ballooning syndrome or stress cardiomyopathy. Left ventricular dysfunction with apical hyperkinesis and basilar and midventricular akinesis in the absence of coronary artery disease is highly suggestive of a variant of stress cardiomyopathy (inverted takotsubo cardiomyopathy). Herein, we report the case of a 69-year-old man with an unknown retroperitoneal paraganglioma who suffered from cardiogenic shock due to inverted takotsubo cardiomyopathy. He was treated with venoarterial extracorporeal membrane pulmonary oxygenation (ECMO) in combination with an intra-aortic balloon pump. After the restoration of cardiac function, a successful transition to curative retroperitoneal paraganglioma resection was performed. We conclude that ECMO is a valuable option for undiagnosed endocrine emergencies, helping to restore cardiac function and allowing sufficient time for further accurate diagnosis and specific treatment.

Abstract
Background Progressive multiple organ failures still occur in some patients with pheochromocytoma multisystem crisis (PMC) despite α- and β-blockade being used, and emergency adrenalectomy may lead to rapid hemodynamic stabilization and recovery. Therefore, the optimal timing and surgical approach under PMC remain controversial. Case Presentation A 50-year-old man presented with persistent chest pain accompanied by vomiting and headache. CT showed a right adrenal mass, and plasma catecholamine levels were significantly elevated. Phenoxybenzamine was used, but his symptoms were aggravated. He progressed to acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) and received mechanical ventilation. Reexamination of CT showed pheochromocytoma rupture. Emergency pheochromocytoma resection was performed on the 5th day, and he was discharged on the 21st day. A 46-year-old woman was admitted for intrauterine device removal and received hysteroscopy under intravenous anesthesia. She presented with dyspnea, fluctuating blood pressure, and loss of consciousness 9 h after hysteroscopy surgery. CT showed a left adrenal mass, and plasma catecholamine levels were significantly elevated. Her condition fluctuated and could not meet the preoperative preparation criteria for pheochromocytoma despite adequate doses of α-blockade and β-blockade were taken. Furthermore, her lung condition worsened due to recurrent crises and pulmonary edema. After multidisciplinary discussions, laparoscopic left adrenalectomy with venoarterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VA-ECMO) support was performed on the 28th day, and she was discharged on the 69th day. Conclusion Elective surgical resection is the essential therapy for PMC with adequate preoperative medical management. Emergency surgery is recommended for patients who fail to achieve medical stabilization or progressive organ dysfunction within 1 week, especially those with tumor rupture and uncontrolled bleeding. The laparoscopic approach may represent an option even under PMC.

Abstract
Pheochromocytoma/paraganglioma (PPGL)-related hypercatecholaminemic crisis is a rare lethal condition caused by uncontrolled catecholamine secretion, occasionally leading to critical fluctuation in blood pressure (BP). Emergent transcatheter arterial embolization (TAE) has been employed for spontaneous PPGL rupture, but never, to our knowledge, for critical fluctuation in BP associated with PPGL-related hypercatecholaminemic crisis. We describe here our experience utilizing this method to control critical fluctuation in BP associated with this crisis in a 44-year-old man with an unruptured retroperitoneal paraganglioma. The patient experienced sudden severe left abdominal pain and came to our emergency department, where he exhibited severe fluctuation in BP and underwent laboratory testing that showed hypercatecholaminuria and computed tomography (CT) that revealed a left retroperitoneal tumor with no apparent intra- or retroperitoneal hematoma. We performed emergent TAE from the left inferior phrenic artery using gelatin sponge, which stabilized his BP and relieved his abdominal pain. Histologic examination following elective surgical resection of the tumor confirmed our diagnosis of unruptured retroperitoneal paraganglioma. We believe that TAE represents an important option for the emergent treatment of the critical BP fluctuation associated with PPGL-related hypercatecholaminemic crisis.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Phaeochromocytoma is a catecholamine-secreting tumour associated with clinical presentation ranging from paroxysmal hypertension to intractable cardiogenic shock. Extracorporeal life support, in veno-arterial mode, application in refractory acute heart dysfunction is sharply increasing worldwide. However, its clinical utility in phaeochromocytoma-induced cardiogenic shock remains still unclear. METHODS A systematic review of published reports was performed in accordance with the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analysis Statement. Searches were accomplished on PubMed, Embase and Google Scholar to identify articles describing the use of extracorporeal life support in the setting of phaeochromocytoma-induced cardiogenic shock (PROSPERO: CRD42019125225). RESULTS Thirty-five reports, including 62 patients supported with extracorporeal life support because of intractable phaeochromocytoma crisis, were included for the analysis. Almost all the subjects underwent peripheral cannulation for extracorporeal life support. The median duration of the mechanical circulatory support was 5 days, and most of the patients recovered normal myocardial function (left ventricular ejection fraction ⩾50%). In-hospital survival was 87%. Phaeochromocytoma was removed surgically during extracorporeal life support in 10 patients (16%), while in the remaining after haemodynamic stabilization and weaning from the mechanical support. CONCLUSION Successful management of phaeochromocytoma-induced cardiogenic shock depends on prompt recognition and immediate treatment of shock. In this scenario, extracorporeal life support may play a significant role allowing cardiac and end-organ recovery and giving time for accurate diagnosis and specific treatment.

Abstract
Pheochromocytomas are rare neuroendocrine tumors that produce and store catecholamines. Without adequate preparation, the release of excessive amounts of catecholamines, especially during anesthetic induction or during surgical removal, can produce life-threatening cardiovascular complications. This review focuses on the perioperative management of pheochromocytoma/paragangliomas, initially summarizing the clinical aspects of the disease and then highlighting the current evidence available for preoperative, intraoperative, and postoperative anesthetic management.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Pheochromocytoma, a rare catecholamine-producing tumor, might provoke stress-induced Takotsubo-like cardiomyopathy and severe cardiogenic shock. Because venoarterial-extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VA-ECMO) rescue of pheochromocytoma-induced refractory cardiogenic shock has rarely been reported, we reviewed our ICU patients' presentations and outcomes. METHODS All pheochromocytoma-induced refractory cardiogenic shock cases managed with VA-ECMO (January 2007-March 2015) were prospectively included and reviewed. We also performed a systematic review on this topic. RESULTS Nine patients (7 women, 2 men; 31-51 [median, 43 (IQR 36-49) years old]) were included; none had a previously known pheochromocytoma. Six of them had medical histories suggestive of the diagnosis: palpitations and headaches for several months for four, multiple endocrine neoplasia syndrome type 1 for one and recurrent Takotsubo disease for one; at hospital admission, all were hypertensive despite cardiogenic shock. Three others had an identified surgical triggering factor. All nine patients rapidly developed refractory cardiogenic shock with very severe left ventricular (LV) impairment (LV ejection-fraction range 5-20%; LV outflow-tract velocity-time integral range 3-8 cm). Seven patients' abdominal computed tomography scans showed pheochromocytoma-suggestive adrenal gland tumors (no scan during ICU stay for 2). Despite VA-ECMO implantation, three patients died of refractory multiple organ failure. For the six others, myocardial function improved and ECMO was removed 3-7 days post-implantation; α- and β-blockers were progressively introduced. Five survivors underwent pheochromocytoma excision 3 weeks-4 months post-ICU discharge, with satisfactory outcomes. One patient, whose pheochromocytoma was diagnosed 1 year after the index event, underwent uneventful surgical adrenalectomy. Systematic review retrieved 40 cases of pheochromocytoma-induced cardiogenic shock requiring mechanical support (mostly ECMO), with a mortality rate of 7%. Pheochromocytoma was removed surgically after mechanical support weaning in 31 patients and during mechanical support in 5. Four were not operated. CONCLUSIONS Pheochromocytoma is a rare but reversible cause of cardiogenic shock amenable to VA-ECMO rescue. Adrenal gland imaging should be obtained for all patients with unexplained cardiogenic shock. Lastly, it might be safer to perform adrenalectomy several weeks after the initial catastrophic presentation, once recovery of LV systolic function is complete.

Abstract
Pheochromocytoma associated with pregnancy is not common. Caesarean section may induce pheochromocytoma crisis, resulting in a lethal condition. The clinical picture of pheochromocytoma crisis is extremely variable. In this report, we describe a case of severe pheochromocytoma crisis induced by caesarean section presenting with hyperpyrexia, haemodynamic collapse, muscle weakness, heart failure, and acute kidney injury. Furthermore, we report that the muscle weakness was a manifestation of rhabdomyolysis, resulting from the pheochromocytoma crisis. Standard medical therapy failed to halt the patient's rapidly deteriorating condition. Continuous renal replacement therapy removed catecholamines from the circulation, resulting in improvement of haemodynamics and abrogation of rhabdomyolysis.
