[Conn's syndrome].
Adrenal hypertension is an uncommon phenomenon. When seen in association with hypokalemia the existence of primary aldosteronism, the most frequent cause of which is an adenoma of the adrenal gland cortex, should be suspected. This paper contributes one case of primary aldosteronism treated by unilateral resection of the adrenal adenoma, with no surgical complications and good medium-term results.
