Case Reports
Conn's syndrome can cause malignant hypertension
J Hum Hypertens.
1992 Feb.
Abstract
We present a case in which a patient, having already sustained an episode of malignant hypertension, was subsequently found to have an underlying Conn's adenoma. Ablation of the adenoma improved control of her hypertension. When a second adenoma developed in her remaining adrenal gland, control of her hypertension deteriorated.
