Abstract :

Computed tomography (CT) and ultrasonography (US) are ideally suited for demonstrating urachal remnant diseases. A patent urachus is demonstrated at longitudinal US and occasionally at CT as a tubular connection between the anterosuperior aspect of the bladder and the umbilicus. An umbilical–urachal sinus manifests at US as a thickened tubular structure along the midline below the umbilicus. A vesicourachal diverticulum is usually is covered incidentally at US& CT. At US, it manifests as an extraluminally protruding, fluid–filled sac that does not communicate with the umbilicus. at axial CT, appeå as a midline cystic lesion just above the anterosuperior spect of the bladder. CT and US can help identify most disease entities originating from the urachal remnant in the anterior abdominal wall.
