  • Title: Infected urachal cyst secondary to a Crohn's enterourachal fistula.
    Author: Hollander LL, Girard ED, Ruscher KA, Sayej W, Kim C, Finck CM.
    Journal: J Pediatr Surg; 2012 Dec; 47(12):e43-6. PubMed ID: 23217916.
    Abstract:
    Enterourachal fistulas are exceedingly rare in Crohn's patients. We report a case of a presumed enterourachal fistula that led to an infected urachal cyst. Preoperative medical treatment obliterated the fistula and avoided the need to resect bowel at the time of operation. We recommend consideration of this diagnosis in a Crohn's patient with a midline abdominal mass.
