  • Title: [An unusual cause of generalized peritonitis: intraperitoneal rupture of an infected urachal cyst. A case and review of the literature].
    Author: Beany W, Thoulouzan E, Sava P, Chaillan D, Grau A.
    Journal: Ann Chir; 1993; 47(3):263-6. PubMed ID: 8333723.
    Abstract:
    The authors report a case of acute peritonitis due to intraperitoneal perforation of an infected urachal cyst. A review of the literature found only 15 similar cases. The presence of a lower midline mass, an umbilical discharge together with ultrasound examination should suggest the possibility of urachal pathology, especially and urachal cyst, with subsequent surgical treatment.
