Acute Adrenal Hemorrhage in an Elderly Patient

Abstract

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
