Neonatal adrenal haemorrhage - what does this mean
Neonatal adrenal haemorrhage is a rare but serious condition in newborns caused by bleeding within the adrenal glands. it is thought to be caused by a combination of a weak blood vessel wall and increased pressure within the adrenal glands due to high levels of hormones released during the birthing process. it can lead to shock and low blood pressure, and can be life-threatening if not treated quickly.
What happens during the disease - neonatal adrenal haemorrhage
Neonatal adrenal haemorrhage is caused by a disruption in the integrity of the adrenal capsule, which allows for blood to escape and pool in the surrounding tissue. this is often caused by a traumatic event during delivery, such as an instrument injury or a forceful delivery, which can cause the capsule to rupture. in some cases, the haemorrhage can also be caused by a congenital defect in the capsule, or by a vascular malformation.
