ABSTRACT
The patent urachus is the failure of complete urachal lumen closure results in a free communication between the bladder and the umbilicus. The urachus remains patent and urine leaks from the umbilicus. A 53 day old female infant was admitted to Seoul Red Cross Hospital due to urine leakage accompanied by varing purulent discharge from the enlarged protruding umbilicus, measuring 2 Cm x 2 Cm x 2 Cm, since birth. The fistulogram showed a long fistulous tract communicate with bladder and umbilicus. After complete resection of the urachus and umbilicus with a bladder cuff, the patient had no urine leakage from umbilicus. We report a case of patent urachus with some literature.
