    Abstract:
    Rare developmental anomalies known as urachal remnants are brought on by flaws in the foetal developmental process. However, depending on the location and degree of incomplete obliteration, the urachus can undergo a variety of urachal anomalies. An umbilical fistulogram and a voiding cystourethrogram both supported the existence of the adult urachal cyst in this case. To treat the sepsis, we provided the patient with antibiotics first, then a surgical procedure. The entire vesico-umbilical tract with the urachal cyst was removed using the open approach. The excised specimen's histology revealed a foreign body giant cell reaction without any indication of malignancy. The presentation and diagnosis of vesico-umbilical urinary fistula (VUUF) in adults can occasionally be difficult. They happen very rarely. So we began putting forward this case for the same reason.
