The earliest documentary evidence of hypertensive disease associated with adrenal cortical tumours has been ascribed to Neusser in 1897 by Perera. The presser properties of the medullary extracts from the suprarenal glands had already been described by Oliver and Schaefer in 1895. With this background hyperepinephrinemia was cautiously suggested as/ possible cause of hypertension by several authors around the turn of the present century, but it was Vaquez in 1904, who propounded it as a theory based on the observation that suprarenal hyperplasia was frequently seen in patients with hypertension.
