ABSTRACT
Except when caused by direct and definite mechanisms (e.g., injury of the vessels to the femoral head), the pathophysiology of avascular necrosis of the femoral head has not yet been fully elucidate. While non-traumatic avascular necrosis of the femoral head is known to be caused by alcohol, steroids and various diseases, it may also occur without such events in a patient's history. Herein, a case of bilateral avascular necrosis of the femoral head caused by asymptomatic adrenal cortex incidentaloma which was initially misdiagnosed as idiopathic is reported along with a literature review.
