  • Title: Adrenal insufficiency secondary to adrenal hemorrhage. Two case reports and a review of cases confirmed by computed tomography.
    Author: Dahlberg PJ, Goellner MH, Pehling GB.
    Journal: Arch Intern Med; 1990 Apr; 150(4):905-9. PubMed ID: 2183738.
    Abstract:
    We report two cases of adrenal hemorrhage and review 17 others that were confirmed by hormone measurements and computed tomography. Precipitating factors included heparin therapy, surgery, hypotension, and sepsis. Heparin-associated thrombocytopenia may be an underappreciated cause of adrenal hemorrhage. Despite the availability of computed tomography, adrenal hemorrhage mimics many other diseases, and an early diagnosis remains difficult.
