Abstract

Adrenal gland trauma is uncommon and is diagnosed at an increasing frequency using CT scans. However, owing to the rarity of this injury and its diverse clinical presentations and prognoses, there is no consensus on its management. In this case report, a 73-year-old male patient experienced recurrent bleeding in the right adrenal gland due to an in-car traffic accident, which was treated with repeated transcatheter arterial embolization.

외상성 부신 손상은 드물게 나타난다고 알려져 있으며, 최근 외상 환자에서 컴퓨터단층촬영 사용 빈도가 증가함에 따라 그 발견 빈도가 증가하고 있다. 그러나 손상의 희귀성, 임상적 표현과 예후의 다양성으로 인하여 부신 외상의 치료에 대한 명확한 지침은 형성되지 않았다. 본 증례 보고에서는 차량 사고로 인하여 재발성 우측 부신 출혈을 경험하였으며 이에 대하여 반복적인 경카테터 동맥 색전술을 이용하여 치료한 73세 남성 환자에 대하여 보고하고자 한다.
