[Acute adrenal insufficiency due to bilateral adrenal hematoma following severe thrombopenia induced by low-molecular-weight heparin].
BACKGROUND: Bilateral adrenal hematoma is an uncommon cause of acute adrenal insufficiency. An association with thrombopenia induced by low-molecular-weight heparin even more so. Diagnosis is difficult as the clinical manifestations mimic septic shock. CASE REPORT: A 63-year-old woman developed acute adrenal insufficiency due to bilateral adrenal hematoma following severe thrombopenia induced by low-molecular-weight heparin prescribed after an orthopedic operation. Outcome was favorable. CONCLUSION: Acute adrenal insufficiency must be entertained as a possible diagnosis in patients with heparin-induced thrombopenia.
