Adrenal gland hematoma presenting as an acute scrotum in a neonate
The acute scrotum in a neonatal patients is an emergency. Its'etiology is variable, mostly represented by testicular torsion, trauma or adrenal hemorrhage. Previously, immediate scrotal exploration was considered imperative for diagnosis and treatment. With good imaging studies, some patients a...
