Pheochromocytoma Ppt 355 published articles

Pheochromocytoma

A pheochromocytoma is a rare, usually noncancerous (benign) tumor that develops in the core of an adrenal gland. There are two adrenal glands, one just above each of kidneys. Adrenal glands produce hormones that give instructions to virtually every organ and tissue of body.

Who have a pheochromocytoma, adrenal glands can produce too much of certain hormones, raising blood pressure and heart rate. A pheochromocytoma may be life-threatening if unrecognized or untreated.

Ataxia Ppts and 600 publications

Ataxia is a lack of muscle coordination which may affect speech, eye movements, the ability to swallow, walking, picking up objects and other voluntary movements.  Ataxia is a non-specific clinical manifestation implying dysfunction of the parts of the nervous system that coordinate movement, such as the cerebellum. Several possible causes exist for these patterns of neurological dysfunction.
