Themajority of these rare types of traumas are caused by blunt force injuries and rarely by penetratingmechanisms. In such cases, a whole-body computed tomography scan is essential for early diagnosis....

| description | Due to the specific features of the adrenal glands, traumatic adrenal injury is a rare phenomenon. Themajority of these rare types of traumas are caused by blunt force injuries and rarely by penetratingmechanisms. In such cases, a whole-body computed tomography scan is essential for early diagnosis.This paper describes an uncommon case of adrenal hematoma and contusion followed by blunt abdominaltrauma. A 35-year-old woman was admitted to the emergency department after a high-speed vehicle-pedestriancollision. She presented with decreasing level of consciousness. Additionally, a thoracoabdominal CT scanrevealed a left flank hematoma. Blunt adrenal injury, often accompanied by multiorgan damage, is a rareoccurrence resulting from severe accidents. Accurate diagnosis based on clinical symptoms requires highclinical suspicion, particularly in isolated cases, and treatment depends on the patient’s condition. |
