Abstract:
Since urachal abnormalities are uncommon and have various clinical manifestations such as umbilical discharge, periumbilical pain, recurrent urinary tract infection and abdominal mass according to its structure, it is not easy to diagnose. We report our experience of a patient with urachal remnant abscess who presented with gross hematuria initially, and improved after the management with intravenous antibiotics and percutaneous drainage of abscess.
