Abstract

To illustrate a case of primary adrenal insufficiency caused secondarily to eosinophilic granulomatosis with polyangiitis, case report and review of the literature are used. An example of primary adrenal hemorrhage due to a hypercoagulable state with a thorough discussion and review of the literature. Although rare a hypercoagulable state can lead to bilateral adrenal hemorrhages and subsequent primary adrenal insufficiency. Keeping this in mind can lead to prompter diagnosis and treatment. J Med Cases. 2018;9(7):233-235 doi: https://doi.org/10.14740/jmc3100w
