Abstract

During childhood, the retroperitoneal trauma resulting from birth has some specific aspects. Besides the rupture of the parenchymatous organs, in particular bleeding of the suprarenal glands occurs. The indication for surgical intervention must be based on the general condition of the child. Substitution of hypoprothrombinemia will be necesary in most cases. Intramural duodenal hematoma and rupture of the ureter in the immediate vicinity of the pelvoureteral connection, are observed especially in childhood. Retropneumooperitoneum following the increasingly popular method of intermittent respiration by above atmospheric pressure respiration of the newborn is now more frequently observed, as is necrosis of the wall of the bladder by instillation of medication and catheters in the arteries of the navel.
