Bilateral Adrenal Hemorrhage Associated with Severe Unconjugated Hyperbilirubinemia in a Term Neonate

Gonca Sandal, Filiz Serdaroğlu, Hasan Çetin

Adrenal hemorrhage in newborns is a relatively rare clinical problem. The risk factors for adrenal hemorrhage are LGA infants, asphyxia, sepsis, and hemorrhagic disease. Its clinical findings are abdominal mass, anemia due to blood loss, and unexplained jaundice. In this report, we present a term neonatal case with bilateral adrenal hemorrhage and severe unconjugated hyperbilirubinemia who required long-term intense phototherapy.

Keywords: Newborn, unconjugated hyperbilirubinemia, adrenal hemorrhage

Term Bir Yenidoğanda Ciddi İndirekt Hiperbilirubinemi ile Seyreden Bilateral Adrenal Hemoraji

Gonca Sandal, Filiz Serdaroğlu, Hasan Çetin

Adrenal hemoraji yenidoğan döneminde göreceli olarak ender klinik bir sorundur. Adrenal kanama için risk faktörleri zor doğum, LGA bebek, asfiksi, sepsis ve hemorajik hastalıklardır. Klinik bulguları; abdominal kitle, kan kaybı nedeniyle anemi, hematom içindeki kırmızı kan hücrelerinin yıkımı ve reabsorbsiyonu sonucu oluşan, nedeni açıklanamayan sarılıktır. Biz burada uzun süre yoğun fototerapi tedavisi gereken ciddi hiperbilirubinemisi olan ve bilateral adrenal hemoraji saptanan term yenidoğan bir olguyu sunmaktayız.

Keywords: Yenidoğan, indirekt hiperbilirubinemi, adrenal hemoraji
