title: Superinfection of posttraumatic retroperitoneal hematoma secondary to ascending urinary tract infection.
abstract: Retroperitoneal hematoma is a common feature after blunt abdominal trauma, but secondary infection of these hematomas is a rare complication and its mechanisms have not been fully elucidated. We report a case of infected retroperitoneal hematoma secondary to renal trauma related to ascending urinary tract infection.
