Retroperitoneal fluid without solid organ injury may be due to a major vascular injury involving the aorta, IVC, occult pancreatic injury, EP bladder injury, or mesenteric root injury.

Retroperitoneal hemorrhage can be the source of significant but clinically occult blood loss in the trauma patient. Blood can dissect upward into the abdominal retroperitoneum from pelvic fractures and associated vascular injuries.

Zones of retroperitoneal hemorrhage have been described:Zone I: midline area between diaphragmatic hiatus and sacral promontory

Zone II: flank or lateral retroperitoneum

Zone III: EP pelvis; most common location of hemorrhage
