Abstract:
Two cases of adrenal hemorrhage in meningococcemia detected by ultrasound are reported. Antemortem detection of adrenal pathology may have important prognostic and therapeutic implications. The sonographic appearance may be echo-free, mixed, or echogenic. Abdominal ultrasound examination can be an effective non-invasive tool in diagnosing adrenal hemorrhage.
