4.5 Hypertensive Emergencies
Severe hypertension has been noted in pediatric oncology patients with neuroblastoma, renal tumors including Wilms tumor and rhabdoid tumor, and, rarely, non-Hodgkin lymphoma involving the kidney, pheochromocytoma, and paraganglioma Manger and Gifford 2002 ; Madre et al. 2006 . Hypertension can be secondary to catecholamine release in neuroblastoma, pheo- chromocytoma or paraganglioma, from renal parenchymal tumor involvement, from compres- sion of the renal arteries, or from renal vein thrombosis Madre et al. 2006 . Hypertensive emergency is generally seen secondary to cate- cholamine release and is a rare fi nding in neuro- blastoma Manger and Gifford 2002 , Seefelder et al. 2005 . Pheochromocytoma and paragangli- oma are rare catecholamine-producing tumors of chromaffi n cells that produce catecholamines which cause some degree of hypertension in most cases Manger and Gifford 2002 . When there is a rapid and marked release of catecholamines, a hypertensive crisis can be precipitated which can be life threatening if not treated emergently.4.5.1 Pathophysiology
Tumor secretion of catecholamines is responsible for the majority of signs and symptoms associated with pheochromocytoma. These tumors usually secrete predominantly norepinephrine, but in some cases epinephrine and rarely dopamine are secreted. Patients with neuroblastoma and severe hypertension have been similarly noted to have release of norepinephrine and dopamine Seefelder et al. 2005 . Some pheochromocytomas secrete catecholamines intermittently and cause paroxysmal hypertension, while others constantly secrete catecholamines and cause sustained hyper- tension. Physiologically, norepinephrine increases peripheral vascular resistance with a consequent increase in both systolic and diastolic bloodParts
