  • Title: [Tomodensitometry: localizing value in hypertension of adrenal origin (author's transl)].
    Author: Colliard M, Baglin A, Perez R, Bijard A, Garnier H, Duprey J, Tcherdakoff P, Fritel D.
    Journal: Nouv Presse Med; ; 8(33):2669-72. PubMed ID: 493067.
    Abstract:
    Computarized axial tomography has shown the localization of adrenal lesions in four cases of hypertension of adrenal origin: two phaeochromocytomas, one primary hyperaldosteronism, one Cushing's syndrome. This method has the advantage of being neither invasive, nor time-consuming. Unfortunately, it cannot localize tumors smaller than two cm in diameter. It seems to be highly beneficial in phaeochromocytoma, where it can advantageously take the place of arteriography. It is less fruitful in primary hyperaldosteronism and in Cushing's syndrome because lesions are smaller.
