Due to e.g. trauma (more common), shock or tumour.
Non-traumatic haemorrhage more likely bilateral.
The neonatal adrenal is highly vascular and relatively large, so more prone to haemorrhage.
US
• Well-defined adrenal mass, appearances dependent on age of blood products—acute is hyper- reflective.
• Look for perinephric extension in large haemorrhage.
CT
• Well-defined foci of hyperdensity that do not enhance post-contrast
• Fat stranding
• May become cystic (most adrenal cysts are from a previous haemorrhage) and calcify with time
