    Abstract:
    We present the case of a 32-year-old pregnant woman in the 32 + 3 weeks of pregnancy who presented to the hospital with an exacerbation of pain in the right flank. The diagnostic evaluation revealed the presence of severe anemia and a spontaneous adrenal hemorrhage (SAH) in the right adrenal gland. The patient was transferred to the Perinatology, Obstetrics and Gynecology Clinic with the intention of undergoing preterm childbirth. However, the doctors made a risky decision to wait until week 37 and to terminate the pregnancy at that point. The decision was right, as a cesarean section was performed without complications, and the patient gave birth to a healthy child. Spontaneous adrenal hemorrhage (SAH) is a rare condition, defined as spontaneous hemorrhage without trauma or anticoagulant therapy. Due to bleeding and damage to the adrenal cortex, SAH can lead to adrenal insufficiency. Because of its non-specific symptoms and potentially fatal outcomes for the patient and fetus, it should be considered during diagnostics.
