Abstract

Injury to retroperitoneal structures can be caused by a variety of blunt, penetrating, and iatrogenic traumata. While injuries involving the kidney are among the most frequent of all abdominal injuries, injuries of other retroperitoneal structures such as the pancreas, duodenum, adrenal glands, ureter, bladder, and great vessels are relatively uncommon. As in other injuries, early diagnosis and determination of the severity of retroperitoneal injuries is mandatory for optimal treatment selection. Unfortunately, specific symptoms and signs of trauma to a retroperitoneal organ are often absent or delayed (Maull et al. 1987; Lang 1990). Therefore, imaging studies, in particular computed tomography (CT), play an increasingly important role in planning and management of injuries.
