Аннотация
BACKGROUND: Primary aldosteronism is known to be caused by aldosterone-producing adenoma (APA). Total adrenalectomy is the standard procedure. In contrast to bilateral adrenal diseases (e.g., MEN II pheochromocytomas), there is no consensus about the effect of subtotal adrenalectomy.
CASE REPORT: A 44-year-old patient with primary aldosteronism caused by APA underwent subtotal adrenalectomy including removal of one adenoma. Because hypertension and hypokalemia did not disappear and hyperaldosteronism persisted, the patient had to undergo reoperation in which the adrenalectomy was completed.
DISCUSSION: Subtotal adrenalectomy in patients with Conn's syndrome is an interesting therapeutic option,whereas its effect is much higher in hereditary diseases of the adrenal gland. The benefit of preserved adrenal tissue has to be weighed against a possible persistence of hyperaldosteronism, especially in cases with normal opposite adrenal glands.
