Bilateral adrenal hemorrhage in a man with severe COVID-19 pneumonia

Abstract

This case report demonstrates bilateral adrenal hemorrhage in a fifty-year old man with severe COVID-19 pneumonia. We discuss how adrenal hemorrhage can be one of the possible complications of COVID-19. The case also shows how adrenal hemorrhage can be diagnosed incidentally in a scan performed for a different reason given the difficulty of clinical diagnosis and the non-specific clinical presentation.
