Additionally adrenal computed tomography showed an adrenal tumour. Blood press...
متن کاملPeriodic Paralysis: An Uncommon Complication of Primary Aldosteronism

We describe the case of a Brazilian woman who presented to the emergency room with proximal symmetric tetraparesis that was later diagnosed as primary aldosteronism. This case report shows that primary aldosteronism should be included in the differential diagnosis of periodic paralysis, especial...
متن کاملWould wider screening for primary aldosteronism give any health benefits?
Fifty years ago, Jerome Conn described 'a new clinical syndrome which is designated temporarily as primary aldosteronism' in a young patient with hypertension, severe hypokalaemia and a benign adrenocortical tumour, for whom an adrenalectomy cured both the hypertension and hypokalaemia. His report identified the condition known as aldosterone-producing adenoma, a form of curable hypertension. A...
