Abstract Pheochromocytoma is rare in the clinic, and patients with pheochromocytomas mainly present with headache, high blood pressure and sweating. Patients who develop a pheochromocytoma crisis are particularly rare. This report describes the case of a patient in a pheochromocytoma crisis who presented with severe cardiogenic shock, acute respiratory failure, and acute coronary syndrome, who ultimately underwent surgery under general anesthesia with the support of ECMO, and who was discharged healthy.
