RESUMO
We report a case of pseudohypertension seen at our hospital. Tyhe true prevalence of this condition is unknown. We remind clinicians of Osler's manoeuvre (the palpability of the pulseless brachial artery) which can be used as screening test for its presence. The diagnosis is made by documentation of normal intra-arterial blood pressure with elevated values as measured by mercury sphygmomanometry. Antihypertensive therapy is not indicated and may be dangerous
