ABSTRACT: We report a case of unilateral right adrenal haemorrhage revealed by persistent neonatal jaundice. This adrenal haemorrhage occurred following a pregnancy that had progressed normally until premature rupture of the membranes, resulting in perinatal asphyxia. The clinical manifestations of adrenal haemorrhage are related to the extent of the haemorrhage and the extent of damage to the adrenal cortex. This observation highlights the importance of abdominal ultrasound in cases of jaundice during the neonatal period, as it allows an aetiological diagnosis to be made for effective management.
