This is the case of a lady with a bilateral adrenal haemorrhage with no known cause. She presented with abdominal pain that progressed to back pain with rising serum lactate. The initial and repeat computerized tomography (CT) scans were unremarkable apart from small bilateral renal stones. She was ultimately treated conservatively in the hospital and discharged. On a follow-up appointment and CT scan, it was discovered that she had small bilateral adrenal haemorrhages. She was followed in the clinic until symptomatic resolution which did eventuate, and she was subsequently discharged. The case highlights that with no antecedent factors or past medical history combined with no hemodynamic instability, bilateral adrenal haemorrhages would be a diagnosis to reach but should remain in the differential.
这是一位双侧肾上腺出血且病因不明的女性患者。她最初表现为腹痛,随后随着血清乳酸水平升高发展为背痛。初次及重复的计算机断层扫描(CT)除了双侧小肾结石外并无异常发现。她最终在医院接受保守治疗后出院。在随访预约及CT扫描时,发现她存在双侧肾上腺小出血。她在门诊接受随访直至症状最终缓解,随后出院。该病例强调,在没有先前因素或既往病史且无血流动力学不稳定的情况下,双侧肾上腺出血虽可作为一种诊断考虑,但仍应保留在鉴别诊断范围内。
