Pheochromocytoma is an uncommon tumor that originates in the adrenal medulla or in other paraganglia of the sympathetic nervous system. If a hypertensive crisis occurs during general anesthesia in incidental or untreated pheochromocytoma, it is a life-threatening event with a mortality rate of about 80%. Anesthetic drugs such as pancuronium, atracurium, and metoclopromide can exacerbate the potentially lethal cardiovascular effects of catecholamines. We report a case of a patient with pheochromocytoma who display abrupt increases in systolic arterial pressure and plasma norepinephrine following rocuronium administration. This case indicates the possible involvement of elevated sympathetic nervous system to a catecholamine crisis triggered by rocuronium in pheochromocytoma.
