Postoperative adrenal cortical insufficiency following adrenal adenoma removal: a case report
Primary AI is relatively rare in clinical practice, typically occurring after unilateral adrenal surgery. The clinical manifestations are nonspecific, which often leads to misdiagnosis and mistreatment. Preoperative AVS for hormone level assessment can assist in diagnosing the nature of a functioning adrenal adenoma and help prevent postoperative AI.
