ABSTRACT

Introduction: Retroperitoneal hematoma is frequently due lo blunt trauma and is a challenging problem. Incidence of this complication in adults is high, but in childhood is uncommon. Materials and methods: Analysis of 30 cases is presented. PTS was founded between 10 and 12 points. Zone II, 12, zone III, 17, and zone I, only one. We observed 33 associated injuries: 17 were pelvic fiactures and nine, uretral ruptura. Three patients underwent hepatic or spienic laceration. Seventy three percent of patients had exploratory laparotomy, but did not have exploration of retroperitoneum. Conclusions: Retroperitoneal hematoma in infancy should be treated conservatively.
