چکیده
Excess concentrations of catecholamines in pheochromocytoma can cause various clinical manifestations.

We report a case of pheochromocytoma manifested repeated stress-induced cardiomyopathy after mild stress featuring fulminant myocarditis and combined with non-occlusive stroke and ventricular tachycardia (VT).
