Abstract
The urachus is the remnant of the cloaca and allantois, and attaches the umbilicus to the bladder dome. Urachal anomalies are symptomatically identified during childhood. It rarely occurs in adults, making diagnosis difficult. We present and discuss the case of an infected patent urachus in a 30-year-old male.
