An Infected Urachal Cyst Coexisting With Posterior Urethral Valves ina Malnourished Child: A Case Report and Review of Literature
Journal Title: IOSR Journal of Dental and Medical Sciences (IOSR-JDMS) - Year 2018, Vol 17, Issue 1
Abstract
Urachal abnormalities arerare and present more commonly in children. However when found in adults, the commonest variety is infected urachal cysts compared with other urachal abnormalities (patent urachus, urachal sinus andvesicourachal diverticulum). Posterior urethral valves (PUV) have also been documented to coexist with urachal abnormalities. We report the case of an 8 year old male Nigerian who presented with a tender suprapubic mass, progressive weight loss and urinary incontinence. Diagnosis of infected urachal cyst was confirmed at surgery. He had complete excision of the mass and histology excluded malignant transformation. He subsequently had surgical site infection that was managed with antibiotics.
