ABSTRACT
In newborn infants, normal adrenal glands are characterized by a relatively thin echogenic center surroundedby a thick, hypoechoic cortical rim as seen on ultrasound (US). Various disorders involving the neonatal adrenalgland include adrenal hemorrhage, hyperplasia, cyst, Wolman's disease, and congenital neuroblastoma. Adrenalhemorrhage is the most common cause of an adrenal mass in the neonate, though differentiation between adrenalhemorrhage and neuroblastoma is in many cases difficult. We describe characteristic US, CT and MR imaging findingsin neonates with various adrenal disorders.
