Neonatal adrenal hemorrhage.
The neonatal adrenal gland is vulnerable to traumatic hemorrhage. With the correct interpretation of clinical, laboratory and radiographic data the diagnosis can be made non-operatively. We review 6 cases of acute neonatal hemorrhage. Trauma during or shortly after birth occurred in 4 cases and all 6 newborns had jaundice and anemia. Operative intervention rarely is necessary either for the diagnosis or treatment of intracapsular adrenal hemorrhage in the newborn.
