title: Primary aldosteronism of late onset: a case report.
abstract: BACKGROUND
  Primary Aldosteronism is the commonest cause of secondary arterial hypertension and is due to uncontrollable aldosterone secretion by a series of adrenal disorders.
  
  
  METHODS
  We describe a case of a 71-year-old female patient with uncontrollable hypertensive peaks in soils of pre-existing arterial hypertension, who was diagnosed with Primary Aldosteronism.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  Both late onset of the disease and bilateral presence of adrenal nodes are rarely described in the literature and selection of treatment mainly depends on adrenal vein catheterization.
