Abstract

Three cases of neonatal adrenal hemorrhage are described. They presented different clinical findings. Ultrasonography was the investigation of choice. It showed different initial patterns: anechoic in one case, hyperechoic in the others. The literature is reviewed. Usefulness of echography in the diagnosis of adrenal hemorrhage is stressed.
