Abstract
Pheochromocytoma is a sporadic tumor of the adrenal medulla that occurs in children. A complication can reveal a diagnosis delay in cases due to its polymorphic symptomatology. We report the case of a child admitted for cerebral-meningeal hemorrhage caused by a pheochromocytoma confirmed by a CT scan and urinary dosage of catecholamines.
