Abstract

The urachus is a developmental tube between the bladder and umbilicus which normally undergoes closure prior to birth. Its failure to close leads to congenital anomalies, usually presenting in the neonate, but rarely in the adult. Two such adult cases are presented, and the embryology, clinical features, diagnosis and treatment are discussed.
