There are two main points of interest in the present case report. At first, the report of a classic form of congenital secondary hypertension first diagnosed at adult age confirms that it is possible to reach adult age without experiencing blood pressure measurement and physical examination. Secondly, the report discloses the importance of another aspect of clinical skill, that is the capability to communicate effectively with the patient. The clinical course of the patient can be altered by both these parts of clinical examination.

Abstract
There are two main points of interest in the present case report. At first, the report of a classic form of congenital secondary hypertension first diagnosed at adult age confirms that it is possible to reach adult age without experiencing blood pressure measurement and physical examination. Secondly, the report discloses the importance of another aspect of clinical skill, that is the capability to communicate effectively with the patient. The clinical course of the patient can be altered by both these parts of clinical examination.
