Two cases of Conn Syndrome with high hypertension, who were successful operated, have been prescribed. Retrospective evaluation of both cases suggests that severe and hypocalemic hypertension should motivate the researchers towards primary hyperaldosteronism. Etiology of the disease remains to be an important diagnostic challenge, optimal treatment will vary for each case of primary hyperaldosteronism. For individuals with aldosterone producing tumours the recommended type of treatment will be surgical as in most cases; it results in stabile normalization of RR level and abatement of metabolic dysfunction.
