  • Title: [Radiology of suprarenal glands (author's transl)].
    Author: Voegeli E, Käser H.
    Journal: Radiologe; 1975 Apr; 15(4):149-56. PubMed ID: 1178839.
    Abstract:
    Hypertension in endocrine disorders (Cushing's syndrome, Conn's syndrome, Pheochromocytoma) is frequently accompanied by a confusing clinical symptomatology. The underlying pathology is a cortical hyperplasia or a tumor of the adrenal cortex or medulla. The differentiation from other causes of hypertension is primarily based upon laboratory findings (plasma and urinary concentration of cortico-steroids, Renin, Angiotensin and catecholamines as well as their derivates). The preoperative tumor localization by urography, arteriography and adrenal venography as well as the visualization of glandular hypertrophy by adrenal venography is of fundamental importance with regard to treatment of these disorders.
