Abstract:

The overinfected urachus cyst presents itself in quite different forms. In spite of the accuracy of ultrasound and abdominal CT scan, sometimes the diagnosis of this urachal abnormality is imprecise and even misleading. This article describes the transvesical endoscopic drainage of an infected urachal cyst with optimum result upon the treatment of this condition.
