ABSTRACT
Adrenal infarction is a very uncommon occasion however not very often seen in hypercoagulable states. Pregnancy is one of these hypercoagulation conditions. Changes in the coagulation system during pregnancy are effective in this hypercoagulation. We present a rare case of 36-week pregnant woman, without any history of previous thrombotic occasions, providing with right upper quadrant abdominal pain and ultimately diagnosed with unilateral rigt adrenal infarct.
Key words: Pregnancy, adrenal infarction, arterial embolism, adrenal gland
