The urachus normally involutes, resulting in a fibrous cord between the umbilicus and the bladder in the preperitoneal space. Disruption of this process can lead to a spectrum of rare anomalies
Complete patency results in a patent urachus with free communication between the bladder and the umbilicus. These children may present at birth with a giant umbilical cord, as the cord may fill with urine. Older children generally present with a persistently wet or draining umbilicus, and occasionally with a urinary tract infection.
