Bilateral massive adrenal haemorrhage complicating anaphylactic shock: a case report.
A case of bilateral adrenal haemorrhage complicating anaphylactic shock is reported. Hypovolemic shock related to peritoneal haemorrhage was the main feature landing to laparotomy. Ultrasonographic examination was not contributive, but CT scan easily documented the adrenal haemorrhage and must be considered a valuable diagnostic tool when adrenal haemorrhage is suspected.
