“…More frequently, renal failure occurs as a complication during the course of the disease [5,49,[108][109][110][111]. Other complications include renal infarction as a consequence of renal ischemia due to (deep) systemic shock, vasoconstriction, or tumor compression of the renal artery [112,113]. In some patients, hemodialysis is required [111].…”

This article reviews emergency situations caused by diseases of the sympathetic nervous system. Pheochromocytoma is discussed first and most extensively, because there are numerous reports in the literature on patients with (unsuspected) pheochromocytoma presenting as an emergency. Two other tumors of the sympathetic nervous system are then discussed that less commonly result in endocrine emergencies: neuroblastoma and ganglioneuroma. PheochromocytomaParagangliomas are rare catecholamine-producing tumors derived from chromaffin cells that can be fatal if left undiagnosed.

“…[7] After that a few sporadic cases citing similar such associations were reported. [8–10] Some pathophysiological mechanisms have been proposed,[11] including (a) an ipsilateral tumor that may compress the renal artery and cause both renovascular and catecholamine hypertension; (b) a prolonged increase in catecholamines that induces an arterial vasospasm that can bring about changes in the renal artery wall, norepinephrine secreted preponderantly by extra adrenal paragangliomas is more potent vasoconstrictor; (c) a periarterial adhesion following the resection of the adrenal tumor; (d) generalized neuroectodermal dysplasia with pheochromocytoma and neurofibromatosis, and (e) a simultaneous but independent occurrence of stenotic lesions of the renal artery (e.g. atherosclerosis, fibroumuscular dysplasia).…”

Pheochromocytomas have been described to be associated with rare vascular abnormalities, most common of them being renal artery stenosis. A 45-year-old woman was admitted to our hospital with complaints of headache, sweating, anxiety, dizziness, nausea, vomiting and severe hypertension. Hypertension was confirmed to result from both excess catecholamine production and hyperreninemia of left kidney. The technical images (abdominal CT and renal arteriography) revealed the presence of a left adrenal pheochromocytoma and stenosis of the renal artery. Surgical removal of pheochromocytoma and correction of renal artery stenosis restored the postoperative plasma catecholamine, renin and blood pressure to normal. To our belief, this is the first such case report from India citing this rare association. We conclude that when the two diseases occur simultaneously, both must be diagnosed accurately and treated in a different manner. We also hereby review the existing literature.

“…12 Noncardiac ischemia is a very rare feature of pheochromocytoma. Only some cases of critical limb ischemia, 1,2 reversible renal artery stenosis, 13 and transient pulmonary vasoconstriction resulted in noncardiac pulmonary edema 14 in pheochromocytoma patients have been reported. In pheochromocytoma, significant negative correlations between plasma catecholamine concentrations and skin blood flow were demonstrated.…”

Systemic sclerosis (SSc) patients typically experience Raynaud phenomena that is often complicated by digital ischemic lesions, gangrene, and digital loss. Other causes of peripheral ischemia, such as atherosclerosis, cryoglobulinemia, antiphospholipid syndrome, myeloproliferative disorders, paraneoplastic syndromes, and hyperadrenergic endocrine conditions, may be masked in SSc patients. We present a woman with limited SSc who developed toe necrosis and acute coronary events as a complication of a previously undiagnosed pheochromocytoma.
