- W4387360950 abstract "Abstract Disclosure: T.L. Madsen-Barbosa: None. F.H. Antoni: None. A. Ghazi: None. Introduction: Adrenal hemorrhage (AH) is an uncommon condition that is challenging to diagnose due to its nonspecific findings. We illustrate a case of AH that presented with acute clinical deterioration and had catecholamine overproduction. Case: A 58-year-old woman with a history of migraine headaches and prediabetes presented to the emergency department for “the worst headache of her life” and palpitations of 4 hours duration. On admission, her blood pressure was 224/139 mmHg and heart rate was 102 bpm. Her physical examination was significant for diaphoresis and active vomiting. Initial laboratory tests showed hyperglycemia and leukocytosis. Her ECG, non-contrast CT scan of the head and CT angiography of the head and neck were unremarkable. Her hospital course was complicated by recurrent hypertensive episodes, arrhythmias including Torsades de pointes, and left flank pain. A CT chest, abdomen, and pelvis revealed a large left retroperitoneal hemorrhagic collection which seemed to arise from the inferior aspect of the left adrenal gland. She subsequently underwent successful IR embolization of the left inferior suprarenal artery. Further workup showed elevated urinary fractionated metanephrine and normetanephrine levels, as well as elevated levels of plasma free metanephrine and normetanephrine. Given concern for pheochromocytoma, phenoxybenzamine was started. A repeat CT abdomen after six days demonstrated shrinkage in hematoma and a 7 mm hypoattenuating nodule arising from the medial limb of the left adrenal gland. Outpatient follow-up CT abdomen showed left adrenal thickening with a 2.3 cm nodular area with 78.9 Hounsfield units and absolute washout of 60.9% suggestive of adenoma. After one month, repeat catecholamine levels normalized. Discussion: The clinical manifestation of AH varies widely. Acute adrenal insufficiency is seen if bilateral glands and 90% of the cortices are compromised. However, unilateral AH is most often asymptomatic - found incidentally on imaging. Having elevated catecholamines is described in 30% of patients in one case series. Differentiating spontaneous AH from hemorrhagic adrenal tumors is also a dilemma. Among the hemorrhagic adrenal masses, pheochromocytoma is the most common. Conclusion: This case highlights that clinicians should be aware of clinical manifestations of catecholamine excess when evaluating patients with AH. A catecholamine producing adrenal mass (pheochromocytoma) should also be ruled out in these situations. Reference:1- Elhassan YS, Ronchi C, Wijewickrama P, Balvedeweg SE.
