Comprehensive case report and literature review on perioperative management of multiple pheochromocytoma in a pediatric patient.

Pheochromocytomas (PCCs) are rare neuroendocrine tumors originating from the adrenal medulla, particularly uncommon in pediatric populations. This case report presents a 12-year-old boy with a three-year history of fatigue and a one-year history of blurred vision, who was admitted with severe hypertension (230/200 mmHg). Abdominal CT imaging revealed bilateral adrenal masses measuring 40 mm on the left and 12 mm on the right.

Ultrasound-guided scalp nerve block in anesthesia of children receiving cranial suture reconstruction.

Objective: Analgesia is very important for children with craniosynostosis who are undergoing cranial suture reconstruction. This study investigated the effectiveness and safety of an analgesic technique based on scalp nerve block combined with general anesthesia versus general anesthesia alone.

Methods: This was a single-center, prospective, randomized, controlled study.
