A Rare Case of Bilateral Adrenal Hemorrhage
Journal Title: INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF SCIENTIFIC STUDY - Year 2018, Vol 6, Issue 7
Abstract
Bilateral adrenal hemorrhage is a rare condition that may lead to acute adrenal crises, shock, and death, if untreated. It is associated with a 15% mortality rate and 55–60% mortality, if secondary to Waterhouse–Friderichsen syndrome.[4] It can present with non-specific clinical and laboratory findings; hence, early recognition and treatment is mandatory. We report a 57-year-old female who presented with abdominal pain and vomiting found to have urosepsis causing bilateral adrenal hemorrhage.
