Pheochromocytoma is a rare cause of secondary hypertension in children and adolescents. We report a case of a 15-year-old girl who presented with recurrent adrenergic spells and severe hypertension, subsequently diagnosed with bilateral pheochromocytoma associated with Von Hippel–Lindau (VHL) syndrome. This case underscores the importance of early clinical recognition, comprehensive biochemical and imaging assessment, genetic confirmation, and meticulous perioperative management of this rare genetic syndrome.
