“…Adrenal insufficiency should be addressed to prevent circulatory collapse [ 7 ]. In severe hemorrhage, arterial embolization may be needed as a bridging for subsequent surgery [ 8 ]. Full recovery of adrenal function is expected following resorption of the hematoma, with discontinuation of steroid therapy [ 9 ].…”

Spontaneous adrenal hemorrhage (SAH) is a serious medical condition associated with variable clinical presentation depending on the extent of the hemorrhage. Pregnancy-induced adrenal hemorrhage is poorly understood. A low cortisol level in the peripartum period with radiological findings is sufficient to establish the diagnosis. Prompt hormone replacement and supportive care to ensure good clinical outcomes is crucial. Due to the potentially life-threatening complications, physicians should have a high suspicion for adrenal hemorrhage when they evaluate patients with hypotension, fatigue, and abdominal pain during the peripartum period.

“…Endovascular embolization has been reported to be a safe method to control bleeding from adrenal arterial rupture. 5 However, prompt surgical intervention to ligate the bleeding adrenal artery should be performed if this fails, as adrenal arterial rupture carries a high mortality rate. 5 Adrenal insufficiency post-emergency unilateral adrenalectomy is uncommon but potentially life-threatening.…”

Introduction: Adrenal hemorrhage is a relatively rare condition that is caused by trauma, stress, sepsis, adrenal tumors, anticoagulation, hemorrhagic disorders, and pregnancy. In acute adrenal hemorrhage, prompt diagnosis and treatment may be life-saving, because acute adrenal hemorrhage may result in acute adrenalin insufficiency and fluid-electrolyte imbalance.Case Report: Herein we present the case of an elderly patient admitted to the emergency room with right shoulder pain that was diagnosed and treated for adrenal hematoma in a few hours.Conclusion: Acute adrenal hemorrhage is quite rare and accurate diagnosis of this condition is extremely difficult. Clinicians should be aware of this rare condition and its management in order to accomplish prompt treatment. ÖZETGiriş: Adrenal kanama oldukça nadir görülmekle birlikte travma, stres, sepsis, adrenal tümör, antikoaülan ilaçlar, kanama bozuklukları ve gebelik gibi durumlara sekonder gelişebilir. Akut adrenal kanama adrenal yetmezliğe ve sıvı-elektrolit dengesizliğine yol açabileceğinden acil tanı ve tedavi hayat kurtarıcıdır.Olgu Sunumu: Burada sağ omuz ağrısı şikayeti ile acil servise başvuran yaşlı bir hastada bir kaç saat içinde tanısı konan ve tedavisi gerçekleştirilen bir adrenal kanma sunulacaktır.Sonuç: Akut adrenal kanama çok nadirdir ve tanısı da oldukça zordur. Klinisyenler, hızlı tanı ve tedavi için bu nadir hastalığı akılda tutmalıdır.
