Bilateral adrenal hemorrhage and acute adrenal insufficiency were diagnosed after coronary bypass grafting in a 65-year-old man. The symptoms were nonspecific and easily mistaken for other postoperative complications. Diagnosis was based on finding of adrenal hemorrhage on computed tomogram and confirmed biochemically with an adrenal stimulation test. Corticosteroid therapy was curative.
