Urethral obstruction and urolithiasis associated with patent urachus in a 12-week-old kitten

Congenital persistent urachus, urethral obstruction and uroperitoneum in a calf

Persistent patent urachus with other accompanying anomalies like urethral obstruction and uroperitoniumquickly deteriorates animal conditions which necessitate prompt surgical intervention and animal salvage. A10-day-old calf was referred to clinic with mildly distended abdomen, history of umbilical dribbling and nosigns of normal urination since birth. On clinical laboratory results and ancill...

Ultrasonographic diagnosis and minimally invasive treatment of a patent urachus associated with a patent omphalomesenteric duct in a newborn

RATIONAL Patent urachus (PU) is due to an incomplete obliteration of the urachus, whereas patent omphalomesenteric duct (POMD) is due to an incomplete obliteration of the vitelline duct. These anomalies are very rarely associated with one another. We describe a case of a newborn with a PU associated with a POMD, who was diagnosed by an abdominal ultrasound (US) and laparoscopy, and managed with...

Neonatal ascites associated with urethral obstruction.

Posterior urethral valve with unilateral vesicoureteral reflux and patent urachus: A rare combination of urinary tract anomaliess

Posterior urethral valve (PUV) is a common cause of lower urinary tract obstruction in male infants with an incidence of 1:5000-8000. PUV continues to be a significant cause of morbidity and ongoing renal damage in infants and children. It can coexist with vesicoureteral reflux (VUR) in about 50% of cases and also with patent urachus in about one-third of cases. It is a case of a 22-day-old ful...
