dc.description.abstractThe diagnosis of a catecholamine-secreting pheochromocytoma is always suggested by occurrence of severe and symptomatic paroxysmal hypertension. However, in most patients this diagnosis is not confirmed, despite extensive investigation.(1) Traditionally, besides pheochromocytoma, the differential diagnosis in cases of paroxysmal hypertension associated with catecholamine excess should include cocaine use, antiparkinsonian drugs, obstructive sleep apnoea and baroreflex failure.(2) Nonetheless, when the paroxysmal hypertension is associated not only with catecholamine excess, but also with neurologic signs, a very rare differential diagnosis should also be considered: a brainstem tumour mimicking pheochromocytoma.(3-5)
