Introduction: Unilateral aldosterone hypersecretion can be adequately treated based on the localization by adrenal venous sampling. However, bilateral aldosterone producing adenoma or primary aldosteronism with preclinical Cushing syndrome cannot be treated with simple unilateral adrenalectomy. Diagnosis of intra-adrenal localization of aldosterone hypersecretion is necessary for surgical treatment of these types of primary aldosteronism.Method: From 200...
