Q

Which statement is INCORRECT regarding Adrenalectomy?

A

 Pheochromocytoma usually causes tachycardia and tachyarrhythmia, rather than hypertension.

Internet – Pheochromoctyoma is an uncommon tumour of the adrenal glands that can present with
headaches, sweating, palpitations, and paroxysmal hyper-tension.

(True:
 Cushing’s patients should be pre-treated with Trilostan before adrenalectomy.
 Patient with Pheochromocytomoa could be pre-treated with α and/or β blockers before surgery.
 Central Cushing’s is suspected in case of bilateral adrenal enlargement.)
