      This case report aims to alert physicians to neuropsychological features and chromosomal variants that may underly resistant hypertension. We present a 35-year-old female patient with hypertensive crisis (BP 260/160 mmHg), initially treated with a combination of calcium antagonists, beta blockers, diuretics and angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE)-inhibitors, though with little improvement. Cushing's syndrome, Conn's syndrome, and glucocorticoid receptor deficiency were ruled out. Multidisciplinary examination of medical history and (hetero)anamneses including psychosocial factors revealed mild dysmorphic body features, developmental delay, early diagnosis of autism spectrum disorder, a history of being bullied at school, little peer contact, learning disabilities, and special education. Neuropsychological assessment demonstrated below average to low average intelligence quotient, cognitive impairments, and psychopathology. Parallel genetic analyses revealed a rare 16p11.2 microdeletion syndrome. These concurrent examinations explained the patient's life-long high stress levels. After psychological treatment, with additional support at home, her blood pressure lowered to normal levels and antihypertensive drugs were no longer needed.
