Overview

Surgery can be done in case of micro or macro adenomas of brain or other glandular tumors that may lead to adrenal atrophy.

Surgery

Surgical interventions are not suggested in adrenal atrophy. However, the absence of micro and macro adenomas of brain, as well as other glandular tumors are needed to be confirmed, which may indicate surgical removal.
