摘要
We report two cases of adrenal hemorrhage and review 17 others that were confirmed by hormone measurements and computed tomography. Precipitating factors included heparin therapy, surgery, hypotension, and sepsis. Heparin-associated thrombocytopenia may be an underappreciated cause of adrenal hemorrhage. Despite the availability of computed tomography, adrenal hemorrhage mimics many other diseases, and an early diagnosis remains difficult.
