    Area of Science:

    • Endocrinology
    • Radiology
    • Pediatric Medicine

    Background:

    • Adrenal calcification can result from various etiologies, including hemorrhage, infection, and tumors.
    • Neonatal complications such as birth trauma may predispose individuals to adrenal abnormalities.
    • Incidental findings during imaging for unrelated conditions warrant thorough investigation.

    Observation:

    • A male patient presented with low back pain, revealing incidental bilateral adrenal calcification on imaging.
    • The patient's birth history included a double footling breech presentation at home, suggesting potential perinatal stress.
    • Initial assessment considered bilateral adrenal hemorrhage as a likely cause of the calcifications.

    Findings:

    • Despite the adrenal calcifications, the patient maintained normal adrenal function.

  • The calcifications were asymptomatic and discovered incidentally.
  • Review of the literature on adrenal calcification and its association with birth trauma was performed.

    • Implications:

    • This case underscores the importance of considering birth history in the evaluation of adrenal abnormalities.
    • It highlights that adrenal calcification, even bilateral, may not always correlate with impaired adrenal function.
    • Further research into the long-term outcomes of incidentally discovered adrenal calcifications is warranted.
