A 16 year-old male, who had marked hypertension and complained of palpitation, hyperhidrosis, headache and weight-loss, was diagnosed as atrial septal defect with pheochromocytoma. The first operation was performed for tumor on September 3, 1981. The hemodynamic change was recorded through the operation. The total systemic peripheral resistance and the total pulmonary resistance were improved after surgery. The systemic and pulmonary blood pressure were also decreased to normal level after surgery, although pulmonary arterial flow was increased. On one hundred and third day after this operation, radical correction for the cardiac malformation was performed. Operative and postoperative course were uneventful and the patient is free from all untoward complaints at this moment. Blood or urine catecholamine levels have also improved and are within normal limits.

D010673 Pheochromocytoma A usually benign, well-encapsulated, lobular, vascular tumor of chromaffin tissue of the ADRENAL MEDULLA or sympathetic paraganglia. The cardinal symptom, reflecting the increased secretion of EPINEPHRINE and NOREPINEPHRINE, is HYPERTENSION, which may be persistent or intermittent. During severe attacks, there may be HEADACHE; SWEATING, palpitation, apprehension, TREMOR; PALLOR or FLUSHING of the face, NAUSEA and VOMITING, pain in the CHEST and ABDOMEN, and paresthesias of the extremities. The incidence of malignancy is as low as 5% but the pathologic distinction between benign and malignant pheochromocytomas is not clear.

D006344 Heart Septal Defects, Atrial Developmental abnormalities in any portion of the ATRIAL SEPTUM resulting in abnormal communications between the two upper chambers of the heart. Classification of atrial septal defects is based on location of the communication and types of incomplete fusion of atrial septa with the ENDOCARDIAL CUSHIONS in the fetal heart. They include ostium primum, ostium secundum, sinus venosus, and coronary sinus defects.
