Urachal Abnormalities: An Incidental Finding and What It Can Mean for Your Patient

Laura Johnson, BS

University of Colorado, Johnson17{at}comcast.net

Urachal abnormalities are rare, especially in adults, and are usually incidentally detected with sonography or by computed tomography. When discovered, they may help to explain patient symptoms. The author reports an incidental finding of urachal diverticula in an adult male. In addition, this report reviews different types of urachal abnormalities, etiology, associated pathology, and treatment.

Key Words: urachus • urachal diverticula • patent urachus • vesicourachal diverticula
