“…This difference can be explained by the different pressor amine content of the two types of tumour. The Hingerty (1957) test is a most useful test for the screening of these infants; it is speedy and sensitive. Sandler and Ruthven (1959) have shown that the urinary excretion of vanylmandelic acid (V.M.A.)…”

It is apparent that, under certain circumstances so far undefined, neuroblastomata may be associated with a secretion of pressor amines in sufficient amounts to cause significant symptoms. Mason, Hart-Mercer, Millar, Strang and Wynne (1957) reported an infant with an adrenaline secreting intrathoracic neuroblastoma which was successfully removed. The preoperative symptoms, sweating and pallor, were completely relieved by extirpation of the tumour. We wish to report on a child in whom we were able to reach the correct diagnosis before operation by referring to the description by Mason and his colleagues. The symptomatology, situation and histology of the tumour and the postoperative course were similar to the infant described by Mason et al.

“…from the child was analysed by the Hingerty (1957) modification of the method described by von Euler and Floding (1955). This technique involves the extraction of the amines on alumina and treatment of the eluate from the latter with alkaline potassium ferricyanide in the presence of ascorbic acid.…”

“…Since the estimation of catechol amines is based on the intensity of their fluorescence it is clear from these observations that false positive results could be obtained in patients on oxytetracycline should this antibiotic be excreted in the urine in sufficient concentration. To test this possibility catechol amine estimations were carried out by the Hingerty (1957) method on urine collected from 11 children who were confined to bed and receiving treatment with antibiotics of the tetracycline group. Specimens were collected one and seven days after starting treatment.…”

Towards the end of May she developed polydypsia, cardiac enlargement (confirmed radiographically), and hypertension (blood pressure 180/130 mm. Hg). The fundi were normal in appearance. Femoral pulsation was felt.The urine contained protein, 0-1 to 0-2 g. %, and pus cells 5 to 15 per high powerfield (centrifuged deposit). Two specimens were sterile; one specimen on culture yielded growth of B. coli sensitive to oxytetracycline.Blood urea was 24 mg. per 100 ml. Intravenous pyelography showed the soft tissue outline of the right kidney to be smaller than the left. Dye was well secreted on both sides. Neither the pelvis nor the calyces were distorted.
