Abstract

Abstract Neuroblastoma is the most common, non-central nervous system tumor of childhood. It has the potential to synthesize catecholamines. However, the presences of hypertension are uncommon. We report the perioperative management of a 15-month-old infant with giant abdominal neuroblastoma who presented severe hypertension. The pathophysiological alterations of neuroblastoma are reviewed and perioperative management presented.

Resumo

Resumo Neuroblastoma é o tumor mais comum do sistema nervoso não central na infância. Esse tumor tem o potencial de sintetizar catecolaminas; entretanto, a presença de hipertensão é rara. Relatamos o manejo perioperatório de uma criança de cinco meses com neuroblastoma abdominal gigante que apresentou hipertensão grave. As alterações fisiopatológicas do neuroblastoma foram revistas e o manejo perioperatório é apresentado.
