Abstract

A 49-year-old man suffered from bilateral anterior ischemic optic neuropathy almost simultaneously, and was diagnosed with idiopathic aldosteronism associated with hypertension. Because this patient had multiple organ disorders, multiple cerebral infarctions, and a mild loss of renal function, it was important to treat his primary disease.
