Case report: neonatal adrenal haemorrhage presenting as an acute right scrotal swelling (haematoma)--value of ultrasound.
Acute scrotal swelling resulting from remote intra-abdominal pathology is a well recognized but rare entity. The present report relates to such a case in a neonate who presented with an acute right scrotal haematoma, adrenal haemorrhage not being suspected clinically, but detected ultrasonographically. In the imaging of neonatal scrotal swellings, abdominal ultrasound is important in excluding a primary intra-abdominal event.
