Case of functional paraganglioma with intraoperative hypertensive crisis during robot-assisted thoracoscopic resection.
Background: Mediastinal paragangliomas are rare. Their dangerousness may unfold during surgery, especially if hormonal activity was previously unknown. We report our experience with this case in context to the incidence and localization of atypically located mediastinal paragangliomas in the literature.
Case presentation: A 69-year-old female patient who was scheduled for thoracoscopic resection due to a posterior mediastinal tumor that had been progressing in size for several years and increasing symptoms. The induction of anesthesia, the ventilation of the lungs and the gas exchange after lung separation was uneventful. After initially stable circulatory conditions, there was a sudden increase in blood pressure up to 300/130 mmHg and tachycardia up to 130/min. This hypertensive phase was difficult to influence and required a rapid and consistent use of antihypertensive medication to bring down the blood pressure to reasonable values. The patient stabilized after tumor resection. The postoperative course was unremarkable. During the intraoperative blood pressure crisis, blood was drawn for analysis. These samples showed elevated concentrations of normetanephrine and metanephrine. The tumor subsequently presented as a catecholamine-secreting paraganglioma.
Conclusion: In order to avoid life-threatening blood pressure crises, hormone activity should be ruled out preoperatively in the case of mediastinal tumor, in which a paraganglioma could be considered in the differential diagnosis, especially if there are indications of hypertension in the medical history. Robotic-assisted thoracoscopic resection of the posterior mediastinal tumor was a feasible surgical method, even in the case of unexpected functional paraganglioma.
