title: Bilateral adrenal abscess in a neonate.
abstract: A 23-day-old male baby with a history of perinatal hypoxia presented with refusal of feeds and abdominal distension. The child had a right-sided cystic upper abdominal mass and features of neonatal septicemia. Abdominal ultrasound (US) and contrast-enhanced CT scan showed bilateral adrenal abscesses. Laparotomy with drainage of the abscesses successfully treated the condition. The literature on the subject is reviewed.
