【 摘 要 】

Introduction Acute swelling and discoloration of the scrotum in a newborn is a rare condition and can have several causes such as testicular torsion, trauma, inguinal hernia, hydrocele, or adrenal hemorrhage. Case presentation We report a neonate of adrenal hemorrhage presenting clinically as the acute scrotum. Definitive diagnosis was defined by ultrasonography and computed tomography scan, and the conservative management was successfully performed. Conclusion Adrenal hemorrhage should be considered as one of the causes of acute scrotum in newborns. The abdominal ultrasonography, as well as the scrotal ultrasonography, should be performed routinely to achieve a definitive diagnosis to avoid unnecessary invasive procedures.
