RESUMO

This report describes the investigation and treatment of a 30-year-old woman with Conn's Syndrome caused by an aldosterone-producing right adrenocortical adenoma associated with the classic triad of hypertension, hypokalaemia, and metabolic alkalosis. Removal of the tumour resulted in the reversal of these abnormalities. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first case of Conn's Syndrome in the West Indies. It is hoped that, with the presently improved diagnostic facilities in the region, this report will stimulate interest in finding other cases of this rare but important and treatable cause of secondary hypertension (AU)
