Inguinoscrotal bruising: a sign of neonatal adrenal hemorrhage.
A 5-day-old baby presented with right inguinoscrotal bruising. The underlying testis and cord were normal on examination. Intra-abdominal bleeding was suspected. Abdominal ultrasound showed right adrenal hemorrhage. This was managed nonoperatively and with supportive therapy; the inguinoscrotal bruising resolved spontaneously.
