Abstract

Pheochromocytoma is a hazardous and dramatic cause of hypertension.
This potentially lethal neoplasm originates in most cases in the adrenal medulla and less frequently in the cells of the extraadrenal paraganglion system which are disseminated along the paravertebral axis from the pelvis to the base of the skull.
The organ of Zuckerkandl is paraganglia lying the abdominal aorta with highest incidence in the region of the inferior mesenteric artery and usually degenerate shortly after birth.
In the literature, and additional one case of pheochromocytoma arising from the organ of Zuckerkandl associated with intracerebral hemorrhage which was treated recently in the Kyung Hee University Hospital is presented in this report.
