Abstract :
Neonatal adrenal hematoma is a rare finding that can be discovered incidentally or presents with various symptoms. However,urinary tract infection (UTI) has not been reported in association with this condition. We report on a 4-week old child with massive unilateral adrenal hematoma discovered incidentally during a routine abdominal ultrasound scan for UTI. The mass resolved spontaneously after several months with no complications. The diagnosis and management of infantile suprarenal mass and the possible link between this child s UTI and the adrenal hematoma are discussed.
