Objective: To document a case of pheochromocytoma with an unusually high plasma ratio of norepinephrine to epinephrine concentrations (NE:E), and a history of violent and aggressive behavior (which has been reported to be associated with increased NE:E ratios).
Methods: We present the history of present illness, history of aggressive behavior, and the clinical course of a man who was found to have pheochromocytoma with a remarkable catecholamine profile. We also review the literature on the relationship of catecholamine ratios to behavior.
