Overview
There are no specific CT findings associated with Addisons's disease except for small adrenal remnants bilaterally and calcifications
CT Scan
AbdominalCT findings in Addison's disease may include:[1]
- Small adrenal remnants bilaterally suggestive of autoimmune adrenalitis, idiopathic atrophy, or long-term tuberculosis infection.
- Dense calcification in one or both adrenal beds without evidence of normal glandular remnants - in TB.
- Enlarged nonhomogeneous glands of normal contour - in Histoplasmosis.
- Atrophic adrenal glands - in idiopathic autoimmune Addison's disease.
