We enclose a case of essential hypertension in a 17
years old girl presented for the first time with
hypertensive encephalopathy. Various hematological,
biochemicals, hormonal and imaging studies failed to
explore underlying etiology. A possible correlate of
low birth weight and growth parameters with early
onset of essential hypertension was postulated.
Keywords: Hypertension, birth weight, growth
