Key result
Aggressive management of pheochromocytoma-induced acute cardiogenic pulmonary edema resulted in patient recovery within 48 hours.
Case Report (n=1)
Acute cardiogenic pulmonary edema secondary to catecholamine-induced cardiomyopathy from pheochromocytoma is reversible with early clinical suspicion and aggressive management.
Early recognition may enable rapid recovery in pheochromocytoma-related pulmonary edema; case reports leave optimal strategies open for prospective study.
Acute cardiogenic pulmonary edema secondary to catecholamine-induced cardiomyopathy is a very uncommon and fatal initial presentation of pheochromocytoma. However, with early clinical suspicion and aggressive management, the condition is reversible. This case report describes a patient who presented with hypertension, dyspnea, and cough with bloody streaks, and who recovered within 48 hours after appropriate treatment.
