  • Title: [Neonatal adrenal gland hemorrhage. The importance of echography in diagnosis and follow-up].
    Author: Semmekrot BA, Strijk SP, Schröder CH, de Vries JD, Monnens LA.
    Journal: Tijdschr Kindergeneeskd; 1987 Jul; 55(3):92-7. PubMed ID: 3303438.
    Abstract:
    Neonatal Adrenal Haemorrhage (NAH) is a condition, which often presents with a palpable abdominal mass and prolonged jaundice. Supra-renal calcifications, seen on routine X-ray films, often result from adrenal haemorrhage in early life. Disturbed renal function at the ipsilateral side, as can be seen from excretory urography and renal scintigraphy, is a much less known condition in association with NAH. The case history of three patients is described. The presentation, diagnostical approach and course of NAH is discussed. Echography is the most important diagnostic tool. Echographic follow up discriminates NAH from other conditions presenting with a palpable abdominal mass and allows for a waiting attitude.
