[Acute non-cardiogenic pulmonary edema during resection of a bladder paraganglioma (pheochromocytoma)].

The onset of non-cardiogenic acute pulmonary oedema during resection of a vesical paraganglioma is reported. Such oedema may be caused by the intravascular injection of massive doses of catecholamines in the animal. Aetiopathogenic mechanisms are suggested on the basis of experimental data.
