A clinical observation illustrates the difficulties of differential diagnosis of adrenal aldosteroma, hypertension and neurological pathology. Using the example of the clinical observation, the importance of knowing the interrelationship between general pathophysiological mechanisms is described, as well as clinical thinking that a doctor needs to make an accurate diagnosis.

Key words: primary hyperaldosteronism, aldosteroma, hypokalemia, arterial hypertension.
