Summary
A remission of adrenal adenoma producing aldosterone is described as a consequence
of adrenal venous catheterization. The patient did not undergo surgery but she was
kept on frequent clinical controls. The complete remission of the syndrome is still
persisting three years after the incident.
Since adrenal insufficiency is described after adrenal venous catheterization, the
authors suggest that this procedure is to be restricted to well selected patients.
When this incident occurs in pathological glands, a remission of endocrine syndrome
may be expected.
Key words
Aldosteronism - venography - hypertension
