Abstract
Pheochromocytoma is a rare neuroendocrine tumors which overproduce catecholamines and arise from the adrenal gland or extra-adrenal chromaffin cells of the sympathetic and parasympathetic ganglia. We report a case of pheochromocytoma-induced inverted Takotsubo-like cardiomyopathy leading to cardiogenic shock successfully managed with veno-arterial (VA) extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) as a bridge to pharmacological control and subsequent curative laparoscopic adrenalectomy.
