- Hypertension is a feature of a variety of adrenal cortical abnormalities. benign intracranial hypertension In primary aldosteronism there is a clear relationship between the aldosterone-induced sodium retention and the hypertension.
- In patients with pheochromocytoma increased secretion of catecholamines such as epinephrine and norepinephrine by a tumor benign intracranial hypertension (most often located in the adrenal medulla) causes excessive stimulation of [adrenergic receptors], which results in peripheral vasoconstriction and cardiac stimulation.
