Abstract:
We chose enflurane as the primary anesthetic agent for the surgical removal of a pheochromocytoma (23 year old male) with the satisfactory results. A review of the literature on the anesthetic management of pheochromocytoma discloses no general agreement regarding choice of an anesthetic agent. Almost all agents have at some time been both praised and rejected. It would suggest that selection of an anesthetic agent is not as important as the adequate management of that agent.
