Abstract

Spontaneous adrenal hemorrhage (SAH) in the absence of trauma or adrenal tumor is a rare incidence. Its incidence has been reported from 0.14% to 1.1% and it usually involves the right adrenal gland. During pregnancy, unilateral SAH has been reported very rarely. We describe a case who presented to us with pregnancy-induced hypertension (PIH) and pain in the right flank region for 1 day and diagnosed as a case of spontaneous right adrenal hemorrhage and managed conservatively.
