Adrenal insufficiency after adrenal hemorrhage.
Acute adrenal hemorrhage (AAH) is an extremely rare disorder, especially in adults, and may be difficult to diagnose because of its nonspecific presentation. We report a case of AAH following a sepsis, resulting in persistant adrenal insufficiency contrasting with the radiologic normalisation of the adrenals on computed tomography (CT) scan imaging.
