However, secondary causes such as Cushing’s syndrome may be overlooked, leading to delays in diagnosis and treatment. We present the case of a 50-year-old female with a 5-year history of hypertension who presented for routine medication adjustment. A systematic clinical assessment revealed features suggestive of hypercortisolism. Subsequent biochemical testing confirmed Cushing’s disease, and MRI imaging revealed a pituitary adenoma with associated visual field defects, previously unnoticed by the patient. This case highlights the importance of comprehensive evaluation in hypertensive patients to identify secondary causes and prevent complications.</span></span></span></span></span></span></p>
