Abstract The authors report a case of a 56-year-old Thai woman with a history of recurrent venous thrombosis, spontaneous abortion and Graves' disease who presented with bilateral flank pain, nausea, vomiting and low-grade fever followed by hypotension[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Some patients may present with signs of acuteabdomen similar to appendicitis. What Causes Adrenal Hemorrhage? There are several disorders and conditions that may precipitate adrenal hemorrhage.[tandurust.com]
Signs of acuteabdomen, including guarding, rigidity, or rebound tenderness, have been reported in 15-20% of patients.[emedicine.medscape.com]
Adrenal crisis from bilateral adrenal hemorrhage was diagnosed by a low serum cortisol level during hypotension and bilateral hyperdense oval masses in each of the adrenal glands in a computerized tomographic study.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Within 6 h after delivery, the patient showed pallor without tachycardia and hypotension. In laboratory studies, hemoglobin level failed from 14 g/dL to 10 g/dL within 6 h. Physical examination revealed no signs of abdominal mass.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
On postoperative day (POD) 2, she developed new-onset sinus tachycardia and showed depressed pulse-oximetry readings.[f1000research.com]
Clinical manifestations, such as fever, tachycardia, hypotension, lethargy, and electrolyte disturbances, commonly occur in postoperative patients as well.[healio.com]
The most common symptoms are hypotension, confusion, lethargy, nausea, vomiting, tachycardia, and fever. More specific symptoms such as central abdominal pain radiating to the flank are experienced by 45% of the patients.[asean-endocrinejournal.org]
Case report of a neonate presenting within 1 h of birth with right side scrotal swelling and a dusky skindiscoloration thought clinically to be a hydrocele or testicular torsion.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
The most common presenting symptom was abdominal pain (n 6), followed by alteredmentalstatus and shock (2) and hypercortisolism (1). Five patients were asymptomatic. In 10 patients the adrenal tumor was metastatic.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
We report two cases of AH in neonates; the first presented with scrotal hematoma and the second with adrenal mass associated with hypertension and oliguria, primarily secondary to coincidental renal vein thrombosis.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

If on the unenhanced-CT the density is equal to or below 10 HU the lesion is considered to be an adenoma and no further workup is neccessary If the density is more than 10 HU the wash out should be calculated.[radiologyassistant.nl]
Repeated Synacthen tests showed complete absence of response in 8 of the 10 patients assessed; cortisol and aldosteroneincreased appropriately in one patient and to some extent in another one.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Abstract We present the case of a 56-year-old man with an upper respiratory infection followed by fatigue, hypotension, and hyponatremia. Bilateral adrenal hemorrhage was confirmed, based on T2-weighted magnetic resonance imaging.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Hydration and correction of the hyponatremia are necessary. Large doses of hydrocortisone, FIGURE 72-2.[mitchmedical.us]
While she did not take steroid therapy, the subject of this case report developed hypotension, hyponatremia, and hyperkaliema owing to an acute adrenal insufficiency.[academic.oup.com]
Laboratory analysis at that time was remarkable for a leukocytosis to (16,000/µL), thrombocytopenia of 49,000/µL (from a pre-operative value of 234,000/µL), hyponatremia to 125mEq/L (baseline of 139mEq/L) and a relatively normal HCT of 31.7%.[f1000research.com]
Corticosteroid treatment in situations of severe stress or sepsis had little effect on outcome (9% vs. 6% survival with and without corticosteroid treatment, respectively).[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
The prognosis of acute bilateral adrenal hemorrhage remains good so long as patients undergo appropriate treatment, including anticoagulation and corticosteroid replacement therapy.[consultant360.com]

Epidemiology Frequency United States Adrenal hemorrhage has been reported in 0.3-1.8% of unselected cases in autopsy studies, although extensive bilateral adrenal hemorrhage may be present in 15% of individuals who die of shock.[emedicine.medscape.com]
They reviewed the existing theories of the pathophysiology of adrenal insufficiency in the burn patient. Vaughan and associates demonstrated Cortisol levels three to four times higher than normal in patients with burns greater than 30%.[mitchmedical.us]
Several pathophysiological changes during the intraoperative and postoperative period make the adrenal gland susceptible to adrenal haemorrhage.[endocrine-abstracts.org]
Pathophysiology Although the precise mechanisms leading to adrenal hemorrhage are unclear in nontraumatic cases, available evidence has implicated adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH), adrenal vein spasm and thrombosis, and the normally limited venous drainage[emedicine.medscape.com]
Elevated ACTH level is the proposed hypothesis as pathophysiology in the context of sepsis from amoebic liver abscess (2). This is based on animal studies (3).[edmcasereports.com]
