Nocturnal enuresis is a possible symptom of pediatric paraganglioma: A casereport

摘要

Paraganglioma is a rare catecholamine-secreting tumor that arises from chromaffin cells ofthe sympathetic nervous system. For adequate management and outcomes, early diagnosis isessential. However, particularly in children, early diagnosis is challenging. This isbecause of the extremely low incidence of pediatric paraganglioma (up to 0.3 per million,annually). Another reason for the challenging early diagnosis of paraganglioma in childrenis its atypical clinical symptoms. The classical triad of adult paraganglioma, i.e.,headache, tachycardia, and sweating, may not always be present in pediatric paraganglioma.In order to diagnose pediatric paraganglioma without delay, careful clinical examination andassessment are essential.
