What are the types of urachal remnant?

Urachal sinus: This type of urachal remnant is when the urachus is closed at the bladder side but is open at the umbilical side. It’s estimated that about 18% of urachal abnormalities are of this type. Vesicourachal diverticulum: When this type of the abnormality occurs, the bladder side of the urachus remains open.

Is spontaneous resolution of urachal remnants possible?

Current diagnosis and management of urachal remnants Review of our patients diagnosed with URs indicates there is a subset of patients in whom spontaneous resolution could be expected. Complications are not uncommon after surgical excision.

What is a urachal remnant?

A Word From Verywell A urachal remnant is a rare congenital disorder (a condition that's present at birth) which may go undiagnosed unless there are symptoms. Symptoms can be nonspecific such as abdominal pain or urinary tract infection.

What causes urachal remnant?

In the first trimester of pregnancy, the urachus is a channel between the fetus's bladder and umbilical cord that allows urine to drain from the fetus. By the third trimester, the urachal channel seals off and becomes the medial umbilical ligament. If the structure remains open, a urachal cyst can result.

What is the obliterated urachus?

Abstract. The urachus is a vestigial remnant of the allantois, which is normally obliterated during fetal life to become the median umbilical ligament, which runs between the urinary bladder and umbilicus in adults. Failure of obliteration leaves a tubular urachal remnant, which may present with disease.

Is the urachus part of the bladder?

In an open (or patent) urachus, there is an opening between the bladder and the belly button (navel). The urachus is a tube between the bladder and the belly button that is present before birth. In most cases, it closes along its full length before the baby is born. An open urachus occurs mostly in infants.

How is urachal remnant treated?

The treatment of urachal cysts involves primary excision of the cyst. However, the traditional treatment of an infected urachal cyst is composed of a two-stage approach, i.e., an incision and then drainage of the infected cyst followed by secondary excision.

What is malformation of urachus?

What are urachal abnormalities? Developing fetuses have a canal between the belly button and the bladder known as the urachus. This typically closes before birth. Sometimes, however, that doesn't happen, and a baby will be born with the canal still in place.

What is persistent urachus?

Patent urachus refers to one condition in a rare spectrum of disorders referred to as urachal anomalies. These conditions result from the failure of the involution of normal embryologic tissues that serve to empty the fetal bladder. The location and amount of persistent tissue dictate the presenting symptoms.

Where is urachal?

General Discussion. Urachal cancer is a form of cancer that arises in a structure called the urachus. The urachus is a canal that exists when the fetus is developing before birth. This canal runs from the bladder of the fetus to the belly button (umbilicus).

What is the function of the urachus?

The urachus is a fibrous remnant of the allantois, a canal that drains the urinary bladder of the fetus that joins and runs within the umbilical cord. The fibrous remnant lies in the space of Retzius, between the transverse fascia anteriorly and the peritoneum posteriorly.

What causes patent Urachus?

Patent urachus refers to a spectrum of umbilical disorders that result from the failure of involution of normal embryologic tissues that connect the developing bladder to the umbilical cord.

Does everyone have a urachus?

The urachus is a tube-like structure that forms in a developing embryo. It connects the umbilical cord to the urinary bladder before birth. After birth, the urachus usually shrinks into a small ligament. However, traces of the urachus (called urachal residues) can be detected in up to one-third of adults.

How common is patent Urachus?

Patent urachus is a rare disorder with an estimated prevalence of 1 to 2 cases per 100,000 deliveries. The urachus is the intra-abdominal remnant of the embryologic allantois, which is seen approximately 16 days after conception as a diverticulum from the caudal wall of the yolk sac.

How do you get rid of an urachal cyst?

Treatment of urachal cysts is complete excision due to the risk of malignant transformation. Single-stage excisions result in significantly more complications and longer hospitalization, whereas the two-stage approach, i.e., an incision and drainage followed by a secondary excision, is usually complication free [4, 6].

What is the code for a primary malignant neoplasm?

A primary malignant neoplasm that overlaps two or more contiguous (next to each other) sites should be classified to the subcategory/code .8 ('overlapping lesion'), unless the combination is specifically indexed elsewhere.
