Urology. 1988 Jan;31(1):17-21. doi: 10.1016/0090-4295(88)90564-x.

Abstract

Urachal disorders are uncommon and present with varied appearances. Three cases of urachal disease, one congenital and two acquired, are reported. Each case is representative of the symptoms and findings of its respective category. A review of the literature is presented. A basic understanding of urachal development is necessary to suspect a diagnosis of urachal disease.
