Urachus is the remnant of the embryologic allantois and the fetal bladder, extending form the bladder roof to the umbilicus. It degenerates in the prenatal period into a tissue band known as the median umbilical ligament. Incomplete degeneration may lead to urachal diverticle development. It is difficult to diagnose unless it is considered in differential diagnosis and imaging modalities are em...

Background: Although the global number of newborn deaths declined from 5 million (1990) to 2.4 (2020), children face greatest risk death within their first 28 days life. Dhaka Medical College Hospital (DMCH) is biggest tertiary hospital in Bangladesh serving all incoming patients free cost. Objectives: We studied here clinical patterns and outcomes neonatal surgeries DMCH July 2014 June 2016. M...

BACKGROUND during gestation, the urachus represents the connection between the dome of the bladder and the allantoic duct. This infection occurs preferentially in young adults, advocating the haematogenous or lymphatic pathway as possible routes of transmission, while a cord or bladder origin may also occur. Urachal cysts are rare in adult life, and is observed in only about 2% of adults. CLI...

Urachus is a tubular formation originating from the top of urinary bladder and directed to umbilicus between peritoneum transverse fascia abdomen. In an embryo, it serves divert primary urine amniotic fluid. case, if obliteration duct does not occur until birth, various pathological processes can develop in it. The most common abnomalies urachus reported adults are infected urachal cyst carcino...

BACKGROUND The urachus is a vestigial tubular structure that connects the urinary bladder to the allantois during early embryonic development. Urachal carcinoma develops in the urachus, which is an embryological remnant of the urogenital sinus and allantois. The estimated annual incidence of urachal carcinoma in the general population is 0.01% of all cancers in adults. Moreover, urachal carcino...
