Primary hyperaldosteronism is not frequent, comprises 1 to 2 percent of patients with diastolic hypertension, and is interested in that hypertension can be cured by surgical measure in most cases.
Most prevalent symptoms are headache, fatigue, and nocturia followed by paresthesia and muscle clumps.
80％ of cases are attributable to a solitary unilateral adrenocortical adenoma (APA) and 15％ of cases are associated with bilateral adrenocortical hyperplasia(BHA).
During the period of Mar. 1987 though Oct 1991, adrenal surgery was undertaken at the Department of Surgery, Chungnam National University Hospital in 14 patients due to primary adrenocortical diseases.
5 cases with primary hyperaldosteronism were presented with review of literatures.
