Fig. 23.10a Addison's disease: enlarged adrenal glands demonstrated by computed tomography (CT). Addison's disease: enlarged adrenal glands demonstrated by computed tomography (CT). The CT scan (a) shows bilateral adrenal enlargement in a patient taking anticoagulant therapy who presented with the features of acute adrenal insufficiency. The adrenals show increased density compared with the soft tissues indicating recent haemorrhage. The follow-up scan seven months later, shows shrinkage of both the right (b) and left (c) adrenal glands, which have lost their normal contour.
