Trauma - Retroperitoneal Hematoma
Caption
A young male presented to the ED following a 20 foot fall. He presented with LUQ pain, left flank pain, and soft vitals. FAST exam showed no fluid in Morison’s pouch or in the pelvis but revealed a large, left-sided, retroperitoneal hematoma noted by the distortion of the left kidney.
