2. In this lecture
•Describe the anatomy , embryology and
physiology of adrenal gland.
•Management approach to Conn`s syndrome.
•Management approach to Chusing`s syndrome.

•Management approach to Pheocytochroma.
3. Brain storming
1
50 year old
patient with
resistant HTN and
elevated serum
aldosterone
CT show 1cm
adrenal mass was
found
2
50 year old patient
with features of
Cushing syndrome
and elevated
salivary cortisol
CT show 1cm
adrenal mass was
found
3
50 year old patient
with resistant HTN
and elevated 24hr
catecholamine
urine level
CT show 1cm
adrenal mass was
found
22. Primary Hyperaldosteronism (approach )
•Aldosterone is excreted in urine
•Serum aldosterone is not sufficient for diagnosis
and suppression test should be performed
24. Primary Hyperaldosteronism (approach )
• Most common cause is bilateral adrenal hyperplasia 65%.
• 40 years and older are more likely to possess nonfunctioning
adrenal cortical adenomas.
• Adrenal adenomas > 1cm more likely to be functioning
32. Primary Hyperaldosteronism (approach )
• In patient with +ve PAC/PRA and < 30 year
Consider genetic testing for familial hyperaldosteronism as it is treated
medically
34. Primary Hyperaldosteronism (surgical management )
• Cure rate 75% to 95% may observed in 24hrs to several weeks
• Out-come :
1- clinical : blood pressure and antihypertensive medication
2- biochemical : urine aldosterone levels and resolution of hypokalemia
39. Cushing syndrome
• The clinical features of
glucocorticoid excess were first
documented by Harvey Cushing
in 1912
• Most common due to
pharmacologic glucocorticoid
use
45. Cushing syndrome ( approach )
• ACTH is released in circadian rhythm highest at morning.
• Cortisol is excreted in urine and saliva.
• Tow repeated test should be preformed to confirm diagnosis
47. Cushing syndrome ( approach )
Adrenal Cushing syndrome :
• It cause undetectable plasma ACTH.
• 90% of them are due to adenoma.
• Almost all lesion are seen on CT-scan
48. Cushing syndrome ( approach )
Extra-adrenal Cushing syndrome :
• Ectopic ACTH sources are completely lacking in feedback inhibition.
• 50% of corticotroph microadenomas are visible on pituitary MRI
51. Cushing syndrome ( approach )
• Indication for surgery :
1- primary adrenal Cushing syndrome
2- failure of pituitary surgery for Cushing disease
3- unresectable ectopic ACTH secreting tumor for palliation
4- failure of localize ectopic ACTH secreting tumor
52. Cushing syndrome ( approach )
• Peri-operative care :
1- perioperative stress dose steroids (hydrocortisone 100 mg intravenously
every 8 hours for 24 hour)
2- usually be tapered to physiologic replacement levels during the course
of several weeks but may take more than 1year
53. Cushing syndrome ( approach )
• Post operative problem :
1- HPA axis suppression for long duration
2- deleterious physiologic effects are extremely persistent
3- hypercoagulable status ( need prophylaxis )
57. الورشة محاور
5Ps
Sex Steroid Excess (Adrenal tumors )
Most of these tumors are virilizing
One third of virilizing tumors are malignant
Almost all feminizing tumors are malignant
58. الورشة محاور
5Ps
Sex Steroid Excess (Adrenal tumors )
Of adrenocortical carcinomas:
• 20% cause virilization and most of them are in children
• 24% mixed features of Cushing syndrome and virilization
60. الورشة محاور
5Ps
Sex Steroid Excess (Adrenal tumors )
Although laparoscopic adrenalectomy remains
the preferred procedure open adrenalectomy
should be performed for obviously malignant
tumors
63. pheochromocytoma
• Men and women are affected equally.
• sporadic cases is between the ages of 40 and 50 years.
• Affects approximately 0.2% of hypertensive individuals.
• Only 0.5% of patients with hypertension and suggestive features will
ultimately prove to have the disease.
68. pheochromocytoma( approach )
• Catecholamines have many metabolites.
• Plasma free metanephrine testing is for screening not diagnosis.
• Catecholamines and their metabolites are excreted in urine and its
measurement is the best in diagnosis.
• Tests performed during episodes of acute pain, critical illness, or
urgent hospitalization may be misleading.
79. pheochromocytoma( approach )
Pre-operative
1- Alpha Blockers: Phenoxybenzamine
phenoxybenzamine 10 mg twice daily. The dosage can be titrated
upward every 2 to 3 days to a maximum of 40 mg three times daily for
at least 2 weeks
85. pheochromocytoma( approach )
Intra-operative
2- hypertensive crisis : risk factors
a) Large tumor
b) high plasma NE concentrations
c) more postural hypotension after a blockade
d) MAP >100 mm Hg
87. pheochromocytoma( approach )
Post-operative
1- Post tumor excision hypotension : due to
a) residual a-blockade
b) residual action of vasodilators
c) hypovolemia
d) catecholamine withdrawal
e) a adrenoceptor downregulation
88. pheochromocytoma( approach )
Post-operative
1- Post tumor excision hypotension : management
a) volume replacement to restore CVP to 10-12 mm Hg
b) If ineffective, norepinephrine is the pressor of choice.
c) Vasopressin in refractory hypotension.
