Neonatal Adrenal Haemorrhage Mimicking Acute Scrotum: A Case Report.

What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Acute scrotum in neonates is a rare condition with multiple causes, including incarcerated hernia, testicular torsion, birth trauma, gross hydrocele, and neonatal adrenal haemorrhage, the least common aetiology. Early diagnosis and intervention are essential to prevent testicular ischemia. Due to the continuity between the retroperitoneum and the scrotum via the processus vaginalis and inguinal canal, blood from an adrenal haemorrhage may track down into the scrotum, leading to swelling and discoloration. We report a case of a 1-day-old male neonate born via emergency caesarean section at 37 weeks due to foetal distress. The baby initially admitted to the NICU for transient tachypnoea, developed a right hemi-scrotal swelling with bluish discoloration on the second day of life. Scrotal ultrasound suggested testicular torsion, but Doppler imaging showed absent blood flow. Further abdominal ultrasound confirmed a right adrenal haemorrhage. The neonate was managed conservatively with intravenous fluids, antibiotics, oxygen support, and coagulation management. Serial ultrasounds showed gradual resolution, and he was discharged on the 17th postnatal day. Follow-up at 1 and 3 months showed complete recovery with normal growth. Neonatal adrenal haemorrhage should be considered in cases of acute scrotum, especially in neonates with birth asphyxia. Abdominal ultrasound can aid in diagnosis, preventing diagnostic delays, unnecessary surgery, and anaesthesia exposure. This case highlights the importance of thorough imaging and awareness of rare differential diagnoses, contributing to improved clinical practice and better neonatal outcomes.
