A young patient suffered from acute right hemiparesis, facial weakness and Broca's aphasia with multiple brain lesions due to severe hypertension. His evaluation for secondary causes of hypertension revealed hyperaldosteronism due to bilateral adrenal hyperplasia. Treatment is based primarily on spironolactone and ACE inhibitors. Two years later he was in an outstanding clinical condition with few remained neurological symptoms and his blood pressure well controlled.
