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