[Pheochromocytoma and pregnancy. Apropos of a case]

Pregnancy complicated by pheochromocytoma is rarely reported; fewer than 150 cases in the published literature, while their diagnosis during the antepartum period is even more rare; fewer than 50 documented cases. The risk to the mother and fetus is considerable but early diagnosis and treatment markedly reduce infantile and maternal mortality. A case of pheochromocytoma during pregnancy is reported in which a favorable prognosis was noted for both mother and child.
