Morrison's pouch // Hepatoranal pouch and how blood fluid accumulates here in ascites - Anatomy

Morison’s pouch is a potential space located between the liver and the right kidney. It is also known as the hepatorenal recess or right subhepatic space. This space can open up when fluid or blood enters the area, causing it to expand1. Doctors use the presence of Morison’s pouch on an ultrasound to help diagnose conditions that cause fluid buildup in your abdomen. Several conditions can cause fluid to build up within your abdomen, including ascites and hemoperitoneum. Ascites refers to fluid buildup in the peritoneal cavity, which can also leak into Morison’s pouch, causing it to expand. The main symptom of ascites is visible abdominal swelling. Hemoperitoneum refers to built-up blood in your peritoneal cavity, which can also get into Morison’s pouch. It can cause a range of symptoms, including abdominal pain or tenderness, feeling weak or shaky, losing color in your face and skin, and losing consciousness. #morrisonspouch
