Abstract:
An 8-year-old boy developed severe systemic hypertension during resection of an intramedullary tumor. The histological, ultrastructural and immunocytochemical characteristics of the tumor are those of a gangliocytoma. Based on the demonstration of tyrosine hydroxylase in neuronal tumor cells, it is postulated that catecholamine secretion was responsible for the systemic hypertension.
