Title: Neonatal adrenal hemorrhage presenting as an acute scrotum: A case report on the rare presentation of right adrenal hemorrhage and contralateral left scrotal hematoma. Author: Okamoto T, Kajiwara S, Sekito S, Shibahara T, Onishi T. Journal: IJU Case Rep; 2022 Nov; 5(6):427-430. PubMed ID: 36341198. Abstract: INTRODUCTION: Acute swelling and discoloration of the scrotum in a newborn is a rare condition and can have several causes such as testicular torsion, trauma, inguinal hernia, hydrocele, or adrenal hemorrhage. CASE PRESENTATION: We report a neonate of adrenal hemorrhage presenting clinically as the acute scrotum. Definitive diagnosis was defined by ultrasonography and computed tomography scan, and the conservative management was successfully performed. CONCLUSION: Adrenal hemorrhage should be considered as one of the causes of acute scrotum in newborns. The abdominal ultrasonography, as well as the scrotal ultrasonography, should be performed routinely to achieve a definitive diagnosis to avoid unnecessary invasive procedures.[Abstract] [Full Text] [Related] [New Search]
