Umbilical-Urachus Sinus A variant of Patent Urachus Presentation With Management in Adults- A single Center Experience
Journal Title: Journal of Medical Science And clinical Research - Year 2017, Vol 5, Issue 7
Abstract
The urachus is located pre-peritoneally in the center of a pyramid-shaped space. This space lies with its base on the anterior dome of the bladder and the tip directed toward the umbilicus. The urachal length varies from 3 to 10 cm. It has a diameter of 8 to 10 mm. The urachus can remain either completely open or obliterate partially, leading to the formation of cystic structures at any site throughout its course. The urachal anamoly is usually discovered in childhood, but a late onset in adulthood is always possible. In these cases the clinical presentation is highly variable, and makes diagnosis difficult. This case series presents the various ways of presentation and their management in adults.
