Article Synopsis
- - Unilateral non-hemorrhagic adrenal infarction (NHAI) is a rare but serious condition that can cause acute abdomen during pregnancy, making diagnosis difficult due to its uncommon occurrence and varied symptoms.
- - A case study of a 32-week pregnant woman revealed that NHAI often occurs on the right side and is frequently diagnosed over 24 hours after symptoms appear, requiring advanced imaging for a definitive diagnosis.
- - Increased awareness and clinical suspicion of NHAI in pregnant patients are crucial for effective treatment, management, and improved outcomes for both the mother and the baby.
The COVID-19 pandemic is a collective trauma that is threatening citizens' mental health resulting in increased emotional stress, reduced social support, and heightened risk for affective symptoms.

A sample of 281 mothers was enrolled at eight maternity units in the first hotspot region of the COVID-19 outbreak in northern Italy.
