Adrenal hemorrhage in the newborn occurs in about 0.2%; approximately 90% are unilateral. This condition is associated with perinatal trauma and neonatal asphyxia. Presentation of the case: Newborn who had a dystocic delivery due to the use of forceps, presenting moderate depression (Apgar 1-7). At 22 hours of life, abdominal pain was detected, and right-sided adrenal hemorrhage was diagnosed by ultrasound. Conservative management was provided and the patient was discharged without complications. Conclusions: The adrenal hemorrhage is a condition that can be difficult to detect; this report may help improve the process for its identification and treatment.
La artrogriposis múltiple congénita (AMC) puede definirse como una displasia articular sistémica, caracterizada por rigidez articular en múltiples localizaciones de forma congénita. La incidencia es variable, puede diagnosticarse por ultrasonografía en edades tempranas de la gestación. Las posibles causas son numerosas. Presentación de caso clínico: Recién nacido con diagnóstico postnatal de AMC, ya que se identificaron deformidades articulares, limitación de movimientos, contractura de miembros inferiores, pie valgo convexo, astrágalo vertical bilateral, asociado con hernia inguinal congénita e hidrocefalia congénita. El paciente requirió evaluación de varias especialidades para su tratamiento. Hubo el antecedente de uso de misoprostol en los primeros meses del embarazo, lo cual podría ser la causa de la AMC. Conclusiones: Los pacientes con AMC pueden tener una gama de malformaciones, por lo que su reconocimiento temprano ayudará a ofrecer las mejores alternativas para mejorar, en lo posible, su pronóstico. Es indispensable la participación de especialistas en genética.
