title: [Heterogeneity of bilateral adrenal hemorrhage in newborn infants].
abstract: Bilateral adrenal haemorrhage was diagnosed in 3 newborns. Clinical, biological and hormonal features were different in each case: abdominal mass in the first case; hyponatremic dehydration for the two others. This hyponatremic dehydration was related to temporary acute adrenal insufficiency for one newborn while association with medullary necrosis did not allow to assert hypoadrenalism for the other. These three cases emphasize: 1) variability of presentation at onset; 2) heterogeneousness of salt loose syndrome; 3) interest of systematic renal and adrenal exploration in adrenal haemorrhage.
