title: [Adrenal gland hemorrhage].
abstract: Our experience with 5 patients sustaining adrenal hemorrhage parallels that of other authors: as a rule bilateral adrenal hemorrhage occurs in the clinical setting of severe systemic disease and the symptoms are those of acute adrenal failure. It is therefore rarely recognized and, despite occasional reports of survivors after treatment with steroids, the disease is almost uniformly fatal. Unilateral adrenal hemorrhage presents as an abdominal hemorrhagic catastrophe. Arteriography, sonography and computerized tomography are helpful diagnostic acids and treatment often includes a technically demanding operative hemostasis. The prognosis is distinctly better than for bilateral hemorrhage.
