Abstract

Spontaneous adrenal hemorrhage is an acute hemorrhage from the adrenal gland which occurs in the absence of trauma. The incidence of this condition during pregnancy is unknown. We describe a patient with massive unilateral adrenal hemorrhage which occurred during labor. The patient was successfully managed conservatively with complete resolution of the hematoma. A review of the literature of this rare condition is also presented.

Keywords: Adrenal hemorrhage, post partum, retroperitoneal bleed
