Adrenal calcification in children: a case report.
Unilateral adrenal calcification was encountered incidentally in a 9-year-old boy during evaluation of enuresis. He was a large baby at birth, and perinatal history was suggestive of difficult labor. The case has been discussed through the possible causes of adrenal calcification and the management of these children. Once the diagnosis of idiopathic adrenal calcification is made in light of detailed perinatal history, biochemical investigations, and roentgenologic examinations, these children can be observed by control evaluations with regular intervals.
