Abstract: The confirmed incidence of new-onset adrenal gland hemorrhage has increased with the development of ultrasound diagnostics in recent years. Intrauterine developed cases are rarely recognized. Differential diagnosis of cystic lesions of the adrenal gland is often only possible after birth. In our case study, we report the ultrasonographic diagnosis and follow-up of a cystic lesion measuring 4 × 3 cm in the left fetal epigastrium in the 33rd gestational week. During pregnancy, multimodal imaging methods (both ultrasound and magnetic resonance) have confirmed the diagnosis of hemorrhage in the left adrenal gland. In the 37th gestational week, the hematoma completely resolved. At term, a 4150 gram neonate was delivered in good condition by an elective cesarean section. Postnatal endocrinological and follow-up ultrasound examinations did not find any disorder. This study is the first published case report in the literature that proves that fetal adrenal hemorrhage can intrauterin spontaneously absorb within a short period of time. Our case draws attention to the fact that adrenal bleeding may occur in the newborn regardless of birth trauma. It can also be assumed that the incidence of adrenal bleeding during pregnancy is higher than that reported in neonatal cases. Orv Hetil. 2019; 160(52): 2073–2078.
