Flattened adrenal glands raise concern for potential Addison’s disease. Treatment for gastritis and screening for Addison’s disease would be warranted. No evidence of overt foreign body obstruction was noted.
Both adrenal glands were flattened and isoechoic to the surrounding tissue. The right adrenal gland measured 1.85 x 0.45 cm. The left adrenal gland measured 2.6 x 0.41 cm. Given the flattened contour and isoechoic presentation, screening for Addison’s disease would be recommended.
The patient is currently doing well without any vomiting or diarrhea.
Gastrointestinal symptoms – foreign body, intussusception, IBD, neoplasia, non-specific gastro-enteritis (viral/bacterial/helminths/protozoal/toxins), dietary hypersensitivity. Hypoalbuminemia – chronic hepatopathy, neoplasia, cirrhosis, or Addison’s disease.
Cortisol was normal.
