Vasoplegic Shock after Pheochromocytoma Resection: The Role of Methylene Blue

Ramos Matias, Fratebianchi Franco, Verlangieri Stella

We present a case of a patient with hypotension refractory to the administration of norepinephrine after laparoscopic pheochromocytoma resection in the left adrenal gland. We describe the use of methylene blue as an alternative drug therapy to the adrenergic system, as well as associated doses, contraindications and complications.
