“…Our case is the rare presentation of NAH with right AH and contralateral left SH as is the case reported by Maximiano C et al The possible mechanism might be as follows: the right AH spreads to the peritoneal cavity and the presence of a left patent processus vaginalis allowed the passage of blood into the scrotum. 9 Acute scrotal discoloration in neonates is rare but usually caused by testicular torsion which might be a surgical emergency. Although surgical exploration was considered the gold standard, unnecessary surgical exploration has often been performed because of diagnostic uncertainty.…”

Neonatal adrenal hemorrhage presenting as an acute scrotum: A case report on the rare presentation of right adrenal hemorrhage and contralateral left scrotal hematoma

Introduction: Acute swelling and discoloration of the scrotum in a newborn is a rare condition and can have several causes such as testicular torsion, trauma, inguinal hernia, hydrocele, or adrenal hemorrhage. Case presentation: We report a neonate of adrenal hemorrhage presenting clinically as the acute scrotum. Definitive diagnosis was defined by ultrasonography and computed tomography scan, and the conservative management was successfully performed. Conclusion: Adrenal hemorrhage should be considered as one of the causes of acute scrotum in newborns. The abdominal ultrasonography, as well as the scrotal ultrasonography, should be performed routinely to achieve a definitive diagnosis to avoid unnecessary invasive procedures.
