A 29-year-old man with von Recklinghausen's disease suddenly developed severe epigastric pain and was admitted to hospital. Physical examination revealed elevated blood pressure (200/130 mmHg) and tachycardia (162 bpm). Initially, he was suspected to have appendicitis, and appendectomy was performed immediately; however, appendicitis was not demonstrable pathologically. Retroperitoneal hematoma...

The delayed diagnosis of adrenal insufficiency is relatively common because its symptoms are non-specific. One of the causes of adrenal insufficiency is isolated adrenocorticotropic hormone deficiency (IAD), which is sometimes caused by traumatic brain injury. Indeed, severe head trauma is considered to contribute to the incidence of this disease. However, the relationship between milder head t...

CONTEXT Bluish discoloration and swelling of the scrotum in newborns can arise from a number of diseases, including torsion of the testes, orchitis, scrotal or testicular edema, hydrocele, inguinal hernia, meconium peritonitis, hematocele, testicular tumor and traumatic hematoma. Forty-two cases of scrotal abnormalities as signs of neonatal adrenal hemorrhage were found in the literature. CAS...

The authors present a case of a 6-year-old boy operated on in the 4th week of life because of adrenal abscess. The diagnosis of an adrenal abscess in the neonatal period is challenging due to its rare occurrence and non-specific signs. Adrenal abscesses can develop via two mechanisms: as a result of a hematogenic infection and a spread of bacteria to "normal" adrenal glands or, which is much mo...

BACKGROUND Traumatic bilateral adrenal injuries are uncommon. Adrenal injuries are overall associated with worse outcome than non-adrenal injuries. However, direct comparative evidence between unilateral and bilateral adrenal injuries is unavailable in literature. This study aims to investigate clinical significance of bilateral adrenal hematomas in terms of injury severity, morbidity and morta...

Purpose: The adrenal gland is vulnerable to hemorrhage in the neonatal period because of its large size and increased vascularity. clinical manifestations are variable non-specific. aim our work describe aspects, evolution management period.Methodology: This report based on a presentation newborn with an hematoma who was hospitalized neonatology unit.Findings: patient three-day old female admit...

Spontaneous adrenal hemorrhage is a rare and potentially life-threatening condition. Preoperative diagnosis is extremely complicated because of the formation of hematoma. Current treatment modalities range from supportive management to remobilization or immediate laparotomy. Herein, we present a huge idiopathic unilateral adrenal hemorrhage which was not associated with any trauma, previous sur...

Organizing hematomas occur in many locations and simulate neoplasms. They all have similar structure, with a central mass of blood, a wall of granulation tissue, and dense, fibrous tissue at the periphery. There have been sporadic reports of organizing hematoma not only in soft tissue but also in brain, adrenal gland, lung and maxillary sinus. We report a case of nontraumatic head and neck orga...
