Abstract: Conn's syndrome can cause malignant hypertension. Sunma n W, Rothwell M, Sever PS. Department of Clinical Pharmacology and Therapeutics, St. Mary's Hospital Medical School, Paddington, London, UK. 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.
