Summary
Urachal anomalies are rare. Literary data include case reports, studies analysing data from large groups are not available. Optimal treatment remains a matter of debate. The disease has a good prognosis when adequate treatment is initiated early. It can however also manifest with a lifethreatening sepsis or peritonitis. We report a case of 13-month-old girl with infected urachal cyst.
Key words:
Urachus, urachal anomalies, urachal carcinoma, urachal cyst, urachal disease.
