title: [Unilateral adrenal hemorrhage and hypertensive crisis in a patient with antiplatelet treatment].
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  We report a case of non-traumatic adrenal hemorrhage in a man with antiplatelet treatment.
  
  
  METHODS
  The patient was admitted to the Critical Care Unit because of a non-controlled hypertensive crisis. Pheochromocytoma was analytically excluded. The patient underwent a delayed adrenalectomy.
  
  
  RESULTS
  Pathologic study of the specimen showed a wide hemorrhagic necrosis.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  Association of high blood pressure and adrenal hemorrhage is not pathognomonic of pheochromocytoma.
