“…Newell et al emphasized the importance of immediate treatment induction for PMC in order to prevent death. The standard treatment for PMC is same as that of pheochromocytoma, which is surgical resection with alpha‐blocker administration; if surgical resection is unsuccessful, mortality is especially high as a result . Previous reports have indicated that vaginal delivery carries a higher mortality rate (31%) than cesarean section (19%) in cases of pheochromocytoma during pregnancy .…”

A 24-year-old woman at 38 weeks of gestation with no past medical history was transferred to our hospital because of acute onset of severe dyspnea. Her conscious level was E4V2M5 on the Glasgow Coma Scale and she displayed stress cardiomyopathy (Takotsubo cardiomyopathy) with multiple organ failure. Intrauterine fetal death was confirmed. After immediate application of intubated ventilation, percutaneous cardiopulmonary support and hemodialysis, she was diagnosed with pheochromocytoma multisystem crisis. After multidisciplinary team discussion, surgical resection of the left pheochromocytoma was performed on the same day. However, the bleeding from retroperitoneal drainage did not decrease, therefore, on the fourth day of hospitalization, embolization of the left renal artery under angiography was performed. A 2774 g female infant was stillborn spontaneously on the seventh day of hospitalization. Percutaneous cardiopulmonary support was discontinued on the fifth day of hospitalization and the tracheal tube was extubated on the 11th day. The patient was discharged after 30 days.
