    Author: Gómez Parada J, Puyol Pallas JM.
    Journal: Arch Esp Urol; 2001 Sep; 54(7):722-5. PubMed ID: 11692440.
    Abstract:
    OBJECTIVE: To report a case of infected urachal cyst, with special reference to the difficulty in making the diagnosis due to the low incidence of this condition. METHODS/RESULTS: The embryologic origin of the urachus, its anomalies, clinical features, diagnosis and treatment are discussed. CONCLUSION: A high index of suspicion is necessary to diagnose this condition with unspecific clinical features. Ultrasound and CT are useful in making the diagnosis. Radical surgery continues to be the first therapeutic procedure.
