Abstract
OBJECTIVE. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the prevalence and dis tribution of associated extraperitoneal hemorrhage in infants and children with splenic injury, CONCLUSION, Splenic injury occasionally resulted in extraperitoneal hemorrh age that tracked into the anterior pararenal space, Extraperitoneal hemorrh age always occurred in association with intraperitoneal hemorrhage. In addi tion, blood tracking into the anterior pararenal space after splenic injury dissected the splenic vein and pancreas in two (25%) of eight patients.
