Patent urachus

Patent urachus is a type of congenital urachal anomaly (see this term) characterized by a persistent communication between the bladder and the umbilicus, secondary to non occlusion of the urachal lumen, manifesting as clear drainage from the umbilicus.

Antenatal sonographic findings of a diffuse giant umbilical cord, elevated creatinine levels of 1.3 mg/dL in umbilical cord edema, gross and histopathological findings of allantoic remnants, and umbilical urinary discharge lead to the diagnosis of a patent urachus with retrograde micturition into the umbilical cord.
