Anesthetic management of an infant with giant abdominal neuroblastoma.

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. Copyright © 2014 Sociedade Brasileira de Anestesiologia. Published by Elsevier Editora Ltda.
