Clinical manifestations include headaches, hypertension, and, rarely, cardiomyopathy. Among these, reverse Takotsubo cardiomyopathy (rTTS) is a rare Takotsubo cardiomyopathy (TTS) associated with a surge in catecholamines.

A non-functional middle mediastinal paraganglioma is a rare entity. We describe a case of a 67-year-old woman with a diagnosis of a big mediastinal paraganglioma by endobronchial ultrasound transbronchial needle aspiration after chest CT and 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose positron-emission tomography. The nine centimeter in length tumor was located between the superior vena cava and the posterior portion of the ascending aorta, compressing the left atrium and the trachea and main left bronchus, posteriorly, surrounding the right pulmonary artery.
