Abstract:
There has been only 23 cases of neonatal adrenal hemorrhage presenting as an acute scrotum and unnecessary surgical exploration was performed in nine of these case(39%) due to suspected testicular torsion. We report here on a case of a 2-day-old boy with neonatal adrenal hemorrhage, and he presented with an acute scrotum; this child's condition was managed conservatively.
