ABSTRACT
We present the case of a premature infant in whom adrenal calcification was present
at birth and postulate an etiology of in utero adrenal hemorrhage. The subject of
neonatal adrenal hemorrhage is reviewed with respect to a reassessment of diagnostic
and therapeutic considerations. Ultrasonography and intravenous urography confirm
the diagnosis and differentiate other retroperitoneal lesions. Adrenal hemorrhage
is most often a self-limited process, and medical management results in uneventful
recovery of almost all patients.
