Diagrammatic representation of the perinephric space. The posterior pararenal space (PPS) and anterior pararenal space (APS) have been exaggerated to provide representation of their relation to other retroperitoneal structures. Perinephric bridging septa are seen between the left kidney and the adjacent renal fascia
Lateral longitudinal representation of the perinephric space. The adrenal gland lies within the perinephric space, superior to the kidney. The anterior renal fascia and posterior renal fascia join inferiorly into the pelvis as the combined inter-fascial plane
