Tugcu B, Araz-Ersan B, Eren G, Selçuk H, Yigit U. Indian J Ophthalmol [serial online] 2013 [cited 2013 Mar 21];61:139-40.  Cortical blindness is a rare complication of spine surgery, and is followed by a period of recovery due to resolution of inflammation and edema around the lesion and to the re-activation of partially damaged perilesional tissue. Bilateral occipital abnormalities caused by hypotension, ischemia and infarction are associated with poor prognosis. Herein, we report complete recovery of a case with cortical blindness, despite having an ischemic infarct.  http://www.ijo.in/text.asp?2013/61/3/139/97565  Síndrome de Tapia despues de laminoplastía cervical. Reporte de un caso  Tapia's syndrome following cervical laminoplasty -A case report-. Lim KJ, Kim MH, Kang MH, Lee HM, Park EY, Kwon KJ, Lee SK, Choi H, Moon HS. Department of Anesthesiology and Pain Medicine, College of Medicine, Hallym University, Anyang, Korea. Korean J Anesthesiol. 2013 Feb;64(2):172-4. doi: 10.4097/kjae.2013.64.2.172. Epub 2013 Feb 15. Abstract Tapia's syndrome is the palsy of the 10th and 12th cranial nerves, resulting in ipsilateral paralysis of the vocal cord and tongue. It is a rare complication which is related to the anesthetic airway management and positioning of the patient's head during the surgery. We describe a patient with a postoperative unilateral Tapia's syndrome, after general anesthesia, with uncomplicated endotracheal intubation. The patient's symptoms improved gradually for three months. http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3581789/pdf/kjae-64-172.pdf    Megaesófago: Un reto para los anestesiólogos  Megaesophagus: A challenge for anesthesiologists. Tewari P, Gupta D. Ann Card Anaesth [serial online] 2013 [cited 2013 Jan 2];16:61-2.  A fifty-nine-year male farmer presented with a history of low grade dysphagia, both for solids and liquids for twenty-five years that progressively increased in severity. He had lost weight significantly in recent years and developed spontaneous regurgitation of liquids and food content, heart burn, chest pain after eating and cough. Chest X-ray (PA-view) showed a large curvilinear, radio-opaque density lesion occupying medial 2/3 rd of right hemi thorax with Ryle's tube within the shadow suggesting a large dilated esophagus. This was not silhouetting the right cardiac border suggesting posterior mediastinal mass; moreover, there was no mediastinal shift. Barium swallow confirmed achalasia-cardia with huge, more than 10 cm in diameter, pouch of esophagus with lower constricted part. The patient did not show any cardiac compromise but lung function tests showed reduced inspiratory and forced vital capacity (60%) and borderline Peak Expiratory Flow Rate (70%). The laboratory investigations were within normal limits. He was planned for transhiatal esophagectomy (THO) with cervical esophago-gastrotomy (OG) and feeding jejunostomy (FJ). He was given one week of rigorous chest physiotherapy under guidance of professional therapists http://www.annals.in/text.asp?2013/16/1/61/105374    Síndrome de Sturge-Weber con manifestaciones oculares extremas y asociación rara con agioma de la vía aérea superior con dificultad anticipada para el manejo de la vía aérea              Sturge-Weber-Syndrome with extreme ocular manifestation and rare association of upper airway angioma with anticipated difficult airway.

Abstract We report a rare case of an 18 year old girl with Sturge-Weber syndrome, she had extensive facial port wine stains, right bupthalmos and advanced glaucoma involving both eyes. She underwent right eye glaucoma drainage device surgery under general anaesthesia, and had a difficult intubation due to extensive angiomatous like soft tissue swelling at her upper airway. This report highlights the importance of being aware of the need for continuous follow-up in Sturge-Weber syndrome patients as this syndrome can lead to blindness due to advance glaucoma and the awareness of possible difficult intubation for this group of patients http://www.e-mjm.org/2012/v67n4/Sturge-Weber-Syndrome.pdf  Atentamente Anestesiología y Medicina del Dolor www.anestesia-dolor.org

Comparación de los efectos maternos y neonatales de bupivacaína más fentanil y ropivacaína más fentanil durante operación cesárea  Comparison of the maternal and neonatal effects of bupivacaine plus fentanyl and ropivacaine plus fentanyl during cesarean delivery. Canan U, Örnek D, Kilci O, Dönmez F, Gamli M, Dikmen B. Niger J Clin Pract [serial online] 2013 [cited 2013 Apr 6];16:195-200. Abstract Purpose: The aim of the present study was to compare the anesthetic efficacy, and fetal and maternal effects of 7.5 mg (1 ml) intrathecal 0.75% hyperbaric ropivacaine + 25 μg (0.5 ml) fentanyl versus 5 mg (l ml) intrathecal 0.5% hyperbaric bupivacaine + 25 μg (0.5 ml) fentanyl in elective cesarean delivery. Materials and Methods: The study included 40 ASA I-II cases scheduled for cesarean delivery that were randomized into two groups of 20 cases each. Cases in the RF group were administered 0.75% hyperbaric ropivacaine + 25 μg (0.5 ml) fentanyl and those in the BF group were administered 5 mg (l ml) hyperbaric bupivacaine + 25 μg (0.5 ml) fentanyl into the spinal space. The time until spinal anesthesia in the T4 dermatome, overall duration of analgesia, hemodynamic parameters, Apgar score of newborns at 1-5 min, fetal blood gas values (pH, PO2, PCO2, HCO3−, and BE), maternal side effects, the degree of motor block, maternal need for ephedrine, objective pain scale score, and patient satisfaction were recorded in each group. Results: There were no significant differences between the groups in terms of the parameters evaluated (P > 0.05). Conclusion: In elective cesarean delivery, the combinations of bupivacaine + fentanyl or ropivacaine + fentanyl exhibited similar anesthetic efficacy, and fetal and maternal effects. Keywords: Bupivacaine, cesarean, opioid, ropivacaine. http://www.njcponline.com/text.asp?2013/16/2/195/110154 Atentamente Dr. Benito Cortes-Blanco Anestesiología y Medicina del Dolor www.anestesia-dolor.org

Síntomas musculoesqueléticos y uso de computadoras en adolescentes Finlandeses- La intensidad del dolor y molestias de la vida cotidiana: Un estudio transversal  Musculoskeletal symptoms and computer use among Finnish adolescents--pain intensity and inconvenience to everyday life: a cross-sectional study. Hakala PT, Saarni LA, Punamäki RL, Wallenius MA, Nygård CH, Rimpelä AH. School of Health Sciences, University of Tampere, Tampere, Finland.paula.t.hakala@uta.fi BMC Musculoskelet Disord. 2012 Mar 22;13:41. doi: 10.1186/1471-2474-13-41. Abstract BACKGROUND: Musculoskeletal symptoms among adolescents are related to the time spent using a computer, but little is known about the seriousness of the symptoms or how much they affect everyday life. The purpose of the present study was to examine the intensity of musculoskeletal pain and level of inconvenience to everyday life, in relation to time spent using a computer. METHODS: In a survey, 436 school children (12 to 13 and 15 to 16 years of age), answered a questionnaire on musculoskeletal and computer-associated musculoskeletal symptoms in neck-shoulder, low back, head, eyes, hands, and fingers or wrists. Pain intensity (computer-associated symptoms) and inconvenience to everyday life (musculoskeletal symptoms) were measured using a visual analogue scale. Based on the frequency and intensity, three categories were formed to classify pain at each anatomic site: none, mild, and moderate/severe. The association with time spent using the computer was analyzed by multinomial logistic regression. RESULTS: Moderate/severe pain intensity was most often reported in the neck-shoulders (21%); head (20%); and eyes (14%); and moderate/severe inconvenience to everyday life was most often reported due to head (29%), neck-shoulders (21%), and low back (16%) pain. Compared with those using the computer less than 3.6 hours/week, computer use of ≥ 14 hours/week, was associated with moderate/severe increase in computer-associated musculoskeletal pain at all anatomic sites (odds ratio [OR] = 2.9-4.4), and moderate/severe inconvenience to everyday life due to low back (OR = 2.5) and head (OR = 2.0) pain. CONCLUSIONS: Musculoskeletal symptoms causing moderate/severe pain and inconvenience to everyday life are common among adolescent computer users. Daily computer use of 2 hours or more increases the risk for pain at most anatomic sites. http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3348031/pdf/1471-2474-13-41.pdf     Tratamiento de dolor lumbar en usadores de computadoras: Un abordaje multidisciplinario  Management of low back pain in computer users: A multidisciplinary approach Shete KM, Suryawanshi P, Gandhi N. J Craniovert Jun Spine [serial online] 2012 [cited 2013 Apr 5];3:7-10. Abstract Background: Low back pain is a very common phenomenon in computer users. More than 80% people using computers for more than 4 h complain of back pain. Objective: To compare the effectiveness of multidisciplinary treatment approach and conventional treatment approach amongst computer users. Materials and Methods: A prospective interventional study was carried out at a private spine clinic amongst the computer users with the complaint of low back pain. The study participants were randomly distributed in two groups. The first group comprised the study participants treated by conventional approach and the second group was treated by multidisciplinary approach. Primary outcomes analyzed were pain intensity, sick leave availed, and quality of life. Statistical analysis was done using proportions, unpaired "t" test, and Wilcoxon signed-rank test. Results: Totally 44 study participants were randomly assigned to groups I and II, and each group had 22 study participants. Intensity of pain was reduced significantly in the group treated by multidisciplinary approach (t = 5.718; P = 0.0001). Similarly only 4 (19.19%) of the study participants of the group treated by multidisciplinary approach availed sick leave due to low back pain, while 14 (63.63%) study participants availed sick leave in the other group (P = 0.02). The quality of life amongst the study participants treated by multidisciplinary approach was significantly improved compared to the group treated by conventional approach (t = 7.037; P = 0.0001). Conclusion and Recommendation: The multidisciplinary treatment approach was better than the conventional treatment approach in low back pain cases when some factors like pain and quality of life were assessed. The multidisciplinary approach for treatment of low back pain should be promoted over conventional approach. Larger studies are required to confirm the findings in different settings. Keywords: Computer users, low back pain, multidisciplinary approach. http://www.jcvjs.com/article.asp?issn=0974-8237;year=2012;volume=3;issue=1;spage=7;epage=10;aulast=Shete     http://www.jcvjs.com/text.asp?2012/3/1/7/110117    Factores de riesgo para alteraciones del cuello y de las extremidades en usadores de ordenadores y el efecto de las intervenciones. Una visión general de revisiones sistemáticas  Risk Factors for Neck and Upper Extremity Disorders among Computers Users and the Effect of Interventions: An Overview of Systematic Reviews Johan H. Andersen, Nils Fallentin, Jane F. Thomsen, and Sigurd Mikkelsen PLoS One. 2011; 6(5): e1969. 1 Published online 2011 May 12. doi:  10.1371/journal.pone.0019691 Abstract Background. To summarize systematic reviews that 1) assessed the evidence for causal relationships between computer work and the occurrence of carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) or upper extremity musculoskeletal disorders (UEMSDs), or 2) reported on intervention studies among computer users/or office workers. Methodology/Principal Findings PubMed, Embase, CINAHL and Web of Science were searched for reviews published between 1999 and 2010. Additional publications were provided by content area experts. The primary author extracted all data using a purpose-built form, while two of the authors evaluated the quality of the reviews using recommended standard criteria from AMSTAR; disagreements were resolved by discussion. The quality of evidence syntheses in the included reviews was assessed qualitatively for each outcome and for the interventions. Altogether, 1,349 review titles were identified, 47 reviews were retrieved for full text relevance assessment, and 17 reviews were finally included as being relevant and of sufficient quality. The degrees of focus and rigorousness of these 17 reviews were highly variable. Three reviews on risk factors for carpal tunnel syndrome were rated moderate to high quality, 8 reviews on risk factors for UEMSDs ranged from low to moderate/high quality, and 6 reviews on intervention studies were of moderate to high quality. The quality of the evidence for computer use as a risk factor for CTS was insufficient, while the evidence for computer use and UEMSDs was moderate regarding pain complaints and limited for specific musculoskeletal disorders. From the reviews on intervention studies no strong evidence based recommendations could be given. Conclusions/Significance. Computer use is associated with pain complaints, but it is still not very clear if this association is causal. The evidence for specific disorders or diseases is limited. No effective interventions have yet been documented. http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3093401/pdf/pone. 0019691.pdf    Atentamente Anestesiología y Medicina del Dolor www.anestesia-dolor.org

Obesidad, cirugía, anestesia/Obesity, Surgery, Anesthesia

Banda gástrica ajustable y ¨bypass¨ en Y-Roux laparoscópicos como procedimientos primarios para los súper-súper obesos (IMC > 60 kg/m²).  Laparoscopic adjustable banded roux-en-y gastric bypass as a primary procedure for the super-super-obese (body mass index > 60 kg/m²). Dillemans B, Van Cauwenberge S, Agrawal S, Van Dessel E, Mulier JP. Department of General Surgery, AZ Sint-Jan Hospital AV, Brugge, Belgium. bruno.dillemans@azbrugge.be BMC Surg. 2010 Nov 14;10:33. doi: 10.1186/1471-2482-10-33. Abstract BACKGROUND: Currently, there is no consensus opinion regarding the optimal procedure of choice in super-super-morbid obesity (Body mass index, BMI > 60 kg/m²). Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) is associated with failure to achieve or maintain 50% excess weight loss (EWL) or BMI < 35 in approximately 15% of patients. Also, percent EWL is significantly less after 1-year in the super-super-obese group as compared with the less obese group and many patients are still technically considered to be obese (lowest post-surgical BMI > 35) following RYGB surgery in this group. The addition of adjustable gastric band (AGB) to RYGB has been reported as a revisional procedure but this combined bariatric procedure has not been explored as a primary operation. METHODS: In a primary laparoscopic RYGB, an AGB is drawn around the gastric pouch through a small opening between the blood vessels on the lesser curve and the gastric pouch. The band is then fixed by suturing the gastric remnant to the gastric pouch both above and below the band to prevent slippage. RESULTS: Between November 2009 and March 2010, 6 consecutive super-super-obese patients underwent a primary laparoscopic adjustable banded Roux-en-Y gastric bypass procedure at our institution. One male patient (21 years, BMI 70 kg/m²) developed a pneumonia postoperatively. No other postoperative complications were observed. CONCLUSION: To the best of our knowledge, this is the first series of patients that underwent a laparoscopic adjustable banded RYGB as a primary operation for the super-super obese in the indexed literature. With the combined procedure, a sequential action mechanism for weight loss is to be expected. The restrictive, malabsorptive and hormonal working mechanism of the RYGB will induce weight loss from the start reaching a stabilised plateau of weight after 12 - 18 months. At that time, filling of the band can be started resulting in further gastric pouch restriction and increased weight loss. Moreover, besides improving the results of total weight loss, a gradual filling of the band can as well prevent the RYGB patient from weight regain if restriction would fade away with time. http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2992483/pdf/1471-2482-10-33.pdf     Impacto de la posición corporal de los pacientes sobre el espacio intrabdominal de trabajo durante cirugía laparoscópica  Impact of the patient's body position on the intraabdominal workspace during laparoscopic surgery. Mulier JP, Dillemans B, Van Cauwenberge S. Department of Anaesthesiology, AZ Sint Jan Brugge-Oostende AV, Ruddershove 10, 8000 Brugge, Belgium. Jan.Mulier@azbrugge.be Surg Endosc. 2010 Jun;24(6):1398-402. doi: 10.1007/s00464-009-0785-8. Epub 2010 Jan 7. Abstract BACKGROUND: The effects of the patient's body position on the intraabdominal workspace in laparoscopic surgery were analyzed. METHODS: The inflated volume of carbon dioxide was measured after insufflation to a preset pressure of 15 mmHg for 20 patients with a body mass index (BMI) greater than 35 kg/m(2). The patients were anesthetized with full muscle relaxation. The five positions were (1) table horizontal with the legs flat (supine position), (2) table in 20 degrees reverse Trendelenburg with the legs flat, (3) table in 20 degrees reverse Trendelenburg with the legs flexed 45 degrees upward at the hips (beach chair position), (4) table horizontal with the legs flexed 45 degrees upward at the hips, and (5) table in 20 degrees Trendelenburg with the legs flat. The positions were performed in a random order, and the first position was repeated after the last measurement. Repeated measure analysis of variance was used to compare inflated volumes among the five positions. RESULTS: A significant difference in inflated volume was found between the five body positions (P = 0.042). Compared with the mean inflated volume for the supine position (3.22 +/- 0.78 l), the mean inflated volume increased by 900 ml for the Trendelenburg position or when the legs were flexed at the hips, and decreased by 230 ml for the reverse Trendelenburg position. CONCLUSIONS: The Trendelenburg position for lower abdominal surgery and reverse Trendelenburg with flexing of the legs at the hips for upper abdominal surgery effectively improved the workspace in obese patients, even with full muscle relaxation. http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2869437/pdf/464_2009_ Article_785.pdf    Obesidad, anestesia y cirugía bariátrica  L.

Hospital Universitario Central de Asturias (HUCA) - Centro Residencia Covadonga. Oviedo. Rev. Esp. Anestesiol. Reanim. 2004; 51: 80-94 Resumen La obesidad se ha convertido en una patología en constante aumento, constituyendo un grave problema de salud pública con la consiguiente repercusión sobre el gasto sanitario, sobre todo en los países desarrollados. Su principal rasgo es la asociación con numerosas patologías (respiratorias, cardiovasculares, endocrino-metabólicas), que hace que tenga una elevada morbimortalidad, afectando tanto a la calidad como a la duración de la vida. Un gran avance en el tratamiento de los obesos es la cirugía bariátrica. Es aplicable cuando han fallado otras medidas y está obteniendo resultados muy favorables, por lo que se trata de un arma terapéutica en constante auge. Desde el punto de vista anestésico, los obesos se sitúan en desventaja con respecto a la población no obesa, ya que los procedimientos están dificultados y se aumenta la peligrosidad. Esto hace que sea de primordial relevancia conocer los cambios fisiopatológicos que la obesidad produce, así como las implicaciones anestésicas dentro del marco de la cirugía bariátrica, para lograr que los resultados quirúrgicos sean lo más favorables posibles. https://www.sedar.es/vieja/restringido/2004/n2_2004/80-94.pdf  Atentamente Anestesiología y Medicina del Dolor www.anestesia-dolor.org

Evaluación de la utilidad de las variaciones del monitoreo del volumen latido no invasivo para ajustar el aporte de líquidos durante adrenalectomía laparoscópica en pacientes con feocromocitoma  Examination of the usefulness of non-invasive stroke volume variation monitoring for adjusting fluid supplementation during laparoscopic adrenalectomy in patients with pheochromocytoma. Isosu T, Obara S, Ohashi S, Hosono A, Nakano Y, Imaizumi T, Mogami M, Iida H, Murakawa M. Department of Anesthesiology, Fukushima Medical University, 1 Hikarigaoka, Fukushima City, Fukushima, Japan. t-isosu@fmu.ac.jp Fukushima J Med Sci. 2012;58(1):78-81 Abstract PURPOSE OF THE STUDY: The measurement of stroke volume variation (SVV) using the FloTrac™ system (Edwards Lifescience, USA) is useful to estimate cardiac preload. We evaluated the benefits of SVV monitoring for adjusting fluid supplementation during laparoscopic adrenalectomy under anesthesia in patients with pheochromocytoma. SUBJECTS AND METHODS: Among 10 patients who underwent laparoscopic adrenalectomy for pheochromocytoma in our institution from June 2004 to December 2009, SVV was not monitored in 5 patients (group I) and in the other 5 patients (group II), SVV monitoring was performed. Subject age, height and body weight, total volume of fluid supplemented, blood loss, urine output and net fluid in-out balance during the procedure were retrospectively assessed. In those with SVV monitoring, infusion volume was adjusted for SVV less than 13%.RESULTS: There were significant differences in the patient age and body weight between the two groups (group I: 64.2 years old and 55.1 kg; group II: 43.6 years old and 71.7 kg). Both total infusion volume and urine output were significantly higher in group I compared with group II (5,610 vs. 2,400 ml and 1,125 vs. 750 ml, respectively). Total blood loss was similar between the two groups. Values of the net fluid balance divided by the body weight and total anesthesia period (hr) were significantly lower in group II compared with group I (I; +13.2 in group I and +6.2 in group II, ml/kg/hr). CONCLUSIONS: These data suggest that SVV monitoring is helpful to estimate the optimal volume for fluid supplementation and could prevent excessive fluid infusion during surgical procedures. https://www.jstage.jst.go.jp/article/fms/58/1/58_78/_pdf Manejo intraoperatorio de pacientes con tumores incidentales productores de catecolaminas: revisión y análisis de la literatura  Intraoperative management of patients with incidental catecholamine producing tumors: A literature review and analysis.

Abstract CONTEXT: Present knowledge about intraoperative management, morbidity, and mortality of patients with undiagnosed catecholamine-producing tumors is mostly based on published case reports and anecdotal evidence. AIMS: The aim was to summarize the management and outcomes of reported cases and analyze for practice patterns, deduct useful management recommendations as applicable. SETTINGS AND DESIGN: The Medline database was searched with specific keywords for the period of 1988-2010 for cases of incidental pheochromocytomas and paragangliomas. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Case reports in the English language with a postoperative diagnosis of pheochromocytoma and paraganglioma by histopathology were included. Systematic data extraction from case reports was done. STATISTICAL ANALYSIS USED: Descriptive statistics were applied.RESULTS: Of 823 retrieved records, 62 case reports met inclusion criteria. Hemodynamic instability occurred primarily during mass manipulation/intraoperatively (52%, n = 32) and induction/laryngoscopy (18%, n = 11). In cases reporting specific antihypertensive treatments, nitrates (67%, n = 30) represented the majority of medications used, followed by beta-blockers (47%, n = 21). Alpha receptor blockers were administered in 33% (n = 15). The perioperative mortality was 8% (n = 5), and none of these patients received intraoperative alpha blockade. A catecholamine-secreting tumor was suspected intraoperatively in 26% of cases. CONCLUSIONS: The perioperative mortality based on the reviewed cases of incidental catecholamine producing tumors was less than would traditionally be expected. Intraoperative alpha receptor blockade to treat hypertension was reported in 33% of cases, and none of the patients with a fatal outcome had received it. A higher intraoperative index of suspicion and a lower threshold to consider alpha blocking medications for severe intraoperative hypertension may improve outcomes.

Abstract Pheochromocytoma presents a challenge to the surgery team because of its clinical features and implications. The patient must be treated before the surgery until a stable hemodynamically state is achieved. The preoperative treatment includes α2-short acting adrenergic blocking and β-blocker agents. The most crucial intraoperative moments are induction of anesthesia and hemodynamic oscillations. An adequate preoperative preparation, modern anesthetic drugs, good collaboration between the surgeons and the anesthesiologists, and postoperative care decrease the rate of complications and improve the outcome. This review aims to discuss all the possible pharmacological strategies of perioperative management of phoechromocytoma, focusing on new drugs and treatments. http://www.njcponline.com/article.asp?issn=1119-3077;year=2012;volume=15;issue=3;spage=253;epage=257;aulast=Domi  Atentamente Dr. Juan C.

Implicaciones y consideraciones durante la resección de feocromocitomas: Un reto para el anestesista  Implications and considerations during pheochromocytoma resection: A challenge to the anesthesiologist SukhminderJit Singh Bajwa and Sukhwinder Kaur Bajwa1 Indian J Endocrinol Metab. 2011 October; 15(Suppl4): S337-S344. doi:  10.4103/2230-8210.86977 Abstract Pheochromocytoma is a rare catecholamine secreting tumor arising commonly from adrenal medulla. It has got multidimensional challenging aspects in spite of our improved understanding of its physiological and clinical behavior during surgical resection. This neuroendocrine tumor is associated with a most unpredictable and fluctuating clinical course during anesthesia and surgical intervention. The clinical difficulties and challenges increase manifold in patients with undiagnosed or accidental diagnosis of pheochromocytoma who present to the hospital for the treatment of some other disease or emergency. The most common manifestations of this clinical spectrum include hypertension, headache, palpitations, episodic sweating, and feeling of doom. The definite and only treatment for this rare tumor is surgical resection which itself is very challenging for an anesthesiologist. This article reviews the pre-operative evaluation, pharmacological preparation, intraoperative and post-operative management of patients with pheochromocytoma especially from anesthesiologist's perspectives.  çKeywords: Beta-blockers, catecholamines, epinephrine, hypertension, magnesium sulphate, nor-epinephrine, phenoxybenzamine, pheochromocytoma http://www.ijem.in/article.asp?issn=2230-8210;year=2011;volume=15;issue=8;spage=337;epage=344;aulast= Bajwa   http://www.ijem.in/temp/IndianJEndocrMetab158337-8138384_223623.pdf Manejo médico del feocromocitoma: Papel del endocrinólogo  Medical management of pheochromocytoma: Role of the endocrinologist. Garg M K, Kharb S, Brar K S, Gundgurthi A, Mittal R. Indian J Endocr Metab [serial online] 2011 [cited 2013 Apr 6];15:329-36. Abstract Pheochromocytoma is a rare tumor arising from chromaffin cells in adrenal medulla or other paraganglia in the body. Pheochromocytomas cause increased catecholamine production leading to its clinical manifestations. Pheochromocytoma derives its name from phaios (dusky), chroma (color), cytoma (tumor). The term pheochromocytoma was coined by Pick in 1912. Eighty-five percent of pheochromocytomas are adrenal and remaining 15% are extra-adrenal. Extra-adrenal pheochromocytomas are usually called paragangliomas. Pheochromocytoma as an entity is known since 1886 and its first successful surgical removal was reported in 1926 by Roux. Most of pheochromocytomas are sporadic and earlier only 10% were believed to be familial but in recent series up to 24% are reported to be familial where they may be associated with multiple endocrine neoplasia (2A and 2B), neurofibromatosis, Von-Hippel-Lindau syndrome, and human paragangliomas syndromes, cerebellar hemangio-blastoma,  Sturge- Weber syndrome, and tuberous sclerosis. Extra-adrenal pheochromocytomas can be located along cranial nerves or vagus (parasympathetic), or they can be associated with sympathetic ganglia in pelvis, mediastinum, or neck. The most common extra-adrenal site in abdomen is at the origin of the inferior mesenteric artery called the area of Zuckerkandl. http://www.ijem.in/article.asp?issn=2230-8210;year=2011;volume=15;issue=8;spage=329;epage=336;aulast=Garg      http://www.ijem.in/temp/IndianJEndocrMetab158329-8170611_224146.pdf    Atentamente Dr. Juan C.
