Abstract |
Patent urachus is a rare congenital anomaly due to failure of luminal closure of urachus.
At many instance, it was discovered by drainage of urine from the umbilicus. Patent urachus is sometimes associated with anomaly of Genitourinary system or such as Prunebelly syndrome. We report 1 case of patent urachus in a 1 day old male newborn, treated by surgical intervention. Brief review of literature was also made.
