Abstract
The anaesthetic management of a case of
phaeochromocytoma is presented. It is pointed out
that the number of cases in our environment may be
higher than we think and that a high index of suspicion
is necessary to pick out cases of phaeochromocytoma
from the population of hypertensive patients.
In our setting it is often difficult getting the
necessary drugs to manage cases of phaeochromocytoma.
Limited monitoring equipment may also be a
handicap. It is however pointed out that with attention
to care and detail, cases of phaeochromocytoma
can be successfully managed in our environment
