Abstract
Because of the atypical symptomatology, which can mimic an EPH-gestosis, the physiological elevation of serum aldosterone in the third trimester and restricted diagnostic possibilities, the diagnosis of primary hyperaldosteronism during pregnancy is difficult. A case of an adrenal adenoma during pregnancy is reported.
