Bilateral adrenal haemorrhage (BAH) is a rare but serious condition, which can lead to acute adrenal insufficiency. We present a case of an BAH that occurred after an intervention for lumbar canal stenosis. It was essential for the diagnosis falling hemoglobin and imaging tests. The patient was treated with hydrocortisone substitute orally. A stress situation is a risk factor for BAH, so this condition should be considered in the differential diagnosis of postoperative complications. It is important to suspect it to begin replacement therapy as soon as possible.
