Abstract
Urachal abnormalities are rarely seen in adults and if they do occur they usually present with non-specific symptoms. We present a case of infected urachal cyst in a 49 year old gentleman who presented with fever, abdominal pain and infra-umbilical mass. He underwent staged excision of the infected urachal cyst. Post-operatively he had an uneventful recovery.
Keywords : Abdominal Pain, Urachal Cysts, Cysts, Acute Abdomen, Cloaca.
