Conn's Syndrome is caused by an adenoma
Restriction of Conn's to adenoma - according to whom??? That's really not what we've been taught in the UK. Just leave it alone don't start making up stuff yourself on here. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 78.150.52.65 (talk) 21:07, 23 March 2009 (UTC)
 * It's a widely recognized distinction - Harrison's Principles of Internal Medicine describes Conn Syndrome as an aldosterone-producing adrenal adenoma (Ch 342: Chapter 342. Disorders of the Adrenal Cortex). Most cases of primary hyperaldosteronism are not caused by Conn Syndrome, although Conn's Syndrome is a type of primary hyperaldosteronism.  The restriction is a fair one, and not invented by a wikipedia editor.  Rytyho usa (talk) 21:14, 10 March 2013 (UTC)

New CT scan for diagnosis
It may be good to briefly mention this here in the diagnosis section or elsewhere, at least once a review picks up on it (maybe check if there is a review on this in a few years if that's needed). It's featured in 2023 in science like so:

"a non-invasive alternative to difficult rarely-used catheter testing for a common cause of high blood pressure is reported (16 Jan)." Prototyperspective (talk) 16:20, 9 March 2023 (UTC)
