Urachal affections are rare. Their variable ways of presentation may represent a diagnostic challenge. Urachal sinuses are a rare type of these abnormalities. They are usually incidental findings and remain asymptomatic unless a complication (most commonly the infection) occurs. Infection of the urachal sinus would clinically present as purulent umbilical discharge, abdominal pain, and periumbilical mass. We report herein a case of infected urachal sinus in male adult. The diagnosis was suspected clinically and confirmed with ultrasonography and computed tomography scan. A preoperative cysto-fibroscopy showed normal aspect of the bladder and excluded sinus communication. An initial broad spectrum antibiotic therapy followed by complete excision of the sinus and fibrous tract without cuff of bladder has been therefore performed. The postoperative course was uneventful. No recurrence was observed after 18 months of followup. Histological examination did not reveal any sign of malignancy.

The One

The urachus is a fibrous cord, a remnant of the duct, which in the embryo, connects the bladder with the allantois duct [1]. The urachus can be the site of two types of lesions: on the one hand, congenital anomalies resulting from a defect in the obliteration of the allantois duct (diverticula, fistulas, cysts, sinus), and on the other hand, acquired lesions, essentially of a tumoral nature and most often malignant (urachus carcinoma) [2]. We report the clinical picture of a 28-year-old patient, with a history of uropathology since childhood (hypospadias), chronic renal failure since 2017 under dialysis, neobladder type Mitrofanoff since 2009, admitted for the management of an umbilical abscessed collection. Abdominal MRI revealed a superinfected urachus sinus. The treatment consisted of complete open excision of the sinus (Figure 1) from the umbilicus to the urinary bladder. The postoperative course was simple. Figure 1: The resected specimen (urachal sinus (black arrow), bladder wall (white arrow). A purulent umbilical discharge is often indicative of the presence of a urachus sinus; ultrasound and fistulography are sufficient for the diagnosis [3]. Excision of the urachus sinus by surgery is the standard treatment in this clinical situation [4].

The urachus is a fibrous tube extending from the umbilicus to the anterosuperior bladder dome that usually obliterates at week 12 of gestation, becoming the median umbilical ligament. Urachal pathology occurs when there is incomplete obliteration of this channel during foetal development, resulting in the formation of a urachal cyst, patent urachus, urachal sinus or urachal diverticulum. Patients with persistent urachal remnants may be asymptomatic or present with lower abdominal or urinary tract symptoms and can develop complications. The purpose of this review is to describe imaging features of urachal remnant pathology and potential benign and malignant complications on ultrasound, CT, positron emission tomography CT and MRI.
