    Author: Mattei P.
    Journal: J Pediatr Surg; 2007 Apr; 42(4):722-4. PubMed ID: 17448775.
    Abstract:
    Urachal remnants are uncommon congenital anomalies of the bladder that can be injured during attempted catheterization of an umbilical artery or vein. We present the case of a newborn boy who developed urinary ascites after undergoing an attempted umbilical vein catheterization. He subsequently underwent successful surgical repair of a perforated urachal remnant.
