An Unusual Presentation of Conn’s Myopathy: Surgical Remedy For Medical Illness: A Case Report
Journal Title: IOSR Journal of Dental and Medical Sciences (IOSR-JDMS) - Year 2017, Vol 16, Issue 9
Abstract
Acute onset paraparesis, though a very common entity, has a wide variety of etiologies including spinal and electrolyte disorders. One of the unusual causes of Paraparesis includes Primary Hyperaldosteronism (Conn’s syndrome) and despite being a medical illness, the myopathy is readily reversible with surgical intervention. We encountered a case of 42-year old lady with hypertension and acute paraparesis with normal MRI Spine. Investigations revealed Primary Hyperaldosteronism due to unilateral Adrenal tumor. Surgical intervention by laparoscopic Adrenalectomy was carried out that relieved her symptoms. Histopathology confirmed Adrenal adenoma.
