Abstract:
Pheochromocytomas and paragangliomas are rare neuroendocrine tumors with complex clinical presentations and potential for malignancy. This review highlights advancements in biochemical testing, imaging, genetic counseling, and surgical management, which have improved diagnostic accuracy and patient outcomes. Minimally invasive surgical approaches are commonly preferred, but open surgery remains necessary for larger or complex tumors. Emerging treatments in the metastatic stage, such as targeted therapies and radioligand therapy, show promise. However, access to advanced imaging and treatment options varies globally, underscoring the need for multidisciplinary care and further research to optimize management strategies.

Adrenergic Agonists: Therapeutic Uses
Emergency and Intensive Care Unit (ICU) applications: Pressor agents increase blood pressure, heart rate, and contractility in shock and organ failure situations. Dopamine can induce vasodilation and stimulate adrenoceptors. Endogenous catecholamines are effective in treating cardiogenic shock. α2-agonists like clonidine can reverse anesthesia-induced hypertension.
