title: Adrenal calcification present at birth.
abstract: Presented in a case in which calcification of the adrenal gland was roentgenographically evident on the first day of life. The earliest previously reported case of adrenal calcification was at 8 days of age and was attributed to an intrapartum hemorrhage. It is proposed that an intrauterine third trimester insult was responsible for prepartal hemorrhage which resulted in adrenal calcification present at birth.
