Acute adrenal hemorrhage after blunt trauma

Abstract

Information regarding the size of the hematoma and the presence of extravasation helps to select the appropriate management of patients with traumatic adrenal hemorrhage. TAE appears to be useful for treating patients with massive adrenal hemorrhage.

The current status and management of blunt adrenal gland trauma

“…[8][9][10][11][12] We applied angiography to 18 patients and performed embolizations in 4 of these patients. All patients receiving TAE for BAGT were alive and discharged.…”

“…3,7 Transcatheter angiographic embolization (TAE) has become a well-established method of managing traumatic hemorrhage; however, there are a limited number of case reports on the benefits and effects of angiography in BAGT. [8][9][10][11][12] In the present study, we demonstrated the feasibility and safety of angiography for BAGT and analyzed the clinical presentation, incidence, management, and outcome of BAGT at a level I trauma center. Study population.…”

Adrenal Pseudoaneurysm Due to Blunt Trauma

“…We have found only one other case of a traumatic adrenal pseudoaneurysm in the literature, reported by Ikeda et al [6]. In that case, the patient became hypotensive 8 h postinjury.…”

“…CT angiogram after injury revealed a blush within his adrenal hematoma. The patient underwent successful embolization of his inferior adrenal artery [6].…”

Road traffic accident fatalities: 1961 to 1986

“…Adrenal haemorrhages occurred up to three days after injury (table 2); these have been reported to occur in up to 25% of severely injured patients (Ikeda et al 6). …”
