Abstract

This case report presents a patient with an adrenal pheochromocytoma manifesting as intestinal ischemia. Emergency department and hospital courses are described. Complications of pheochromocytoma are briefly reviewed, with special reference to the gastrointestinal findings in this syndrome. The onset of gastrointestinal symptoms in patients with pheochromocytoma can be a herald of intestinal ischemia, necessitating prompt medical and surgical intervention.
