An allantoic cyst is a rare malformation with a frequency of 3 in 1,000,000 that may be seen antenatally by ultrasound assessment when the connection between the cloaca (future bladder) and the allantois fails to regress. A patent urachus that presents as a cyst (allantoic) is usually considered not to be associated with chromosomal abnormalities, but if it is not repaired after birth this leads to complications such as urinary tract infections and stone formation. We present a case of a fetus diagnosed with allantoic cyst at the first trimester ultrasound assessment at 12 weeks gestation. The follow up scans showed a decrease in size of the allantoic cyst with no other obvious major defects and, when invasive testing (amniocentesis with microarray analysis) was performed, a rare microdeletion, 1q21.1q21.2 was identified (1.82 Mb deletion).

A patient with external-internal sigmoid-vesical fistula is presented. The authors describe surgical intervention (urachus excision, removal of infiltrate with resection of bladder bottom and fistula-related segment of sigmoid). Surgical challenges due to localization of fistula and appropriate literature data are discussed.

A congenital abnormality of the urachus is extremely rare in pregnancy. We reviewed the English literature since 1877 and found only 12 case reports of urachal complications during pregnancy. Eight patients developed complications from a urachal cyst or sinus, and four patients had a patent urachus with urinary fistula. We report an additional case of a patent urachus which uniquely presented for the first time during pregnancy with urinary drainage from the umbilicus. Urodynamic changes in pregnancy which may have produced this complication are discussed. Abdominal wall ultrasonography is extremely helpful in the diagnostic evaluation of suspected urachal tract complications during pregnancy.

Allantoic cysts of the umbilical cord are extremely rare anomalies. Only few cases have been reported in the postnatal life. The etiopathogenesis is still obscure. We describe a case of allantoic cyst and patent urachus in a newborn associated with hypospadias and meatal obstruction. We also present the review of literature regarding this entity, embryology and etiopathogenesis.

Rare developmental anomalies known as urachal remnants are brought on by flaws in the foetal developmental process. However, depending on the location and degree of incomplete obliteration, the urachus can undergo a variety of urachal anomalies. An umbilical fistulogram and a voiding cystourethrogram both supported the existence of the adult urachal cyst in this case. To treat the sepsis, we provided the patient with antibiotics first, then a surgical procedure. The entire vesico-umbilical tract with the urachal cyst was removed using the open approach. The excised specimen's histology revealed a foreign body giant cell reaction without any indication of malignancy. The presentation and diagnosis of vesico-umbilical urinary fistula (VUUF) in adults can occasionally be difficult. They happen very rarely. So we began putting forward this case for the same reason.

Review
A case of congenital patent urachus is reported. A 12-month-old boy was referred to our outpatient clinic with the complaint of watery discharge from the navel. A cystography revealed the communication between the dome of the urinary bladder and the umbilicus. Excretion from the umbilicus of indigocarmine solution instilled into the urinary bladder was recognized. There were no complicated abnormalities in other organs. The patient underwent radical operation. Herein, we collected 164 cases of urachal disorders reported in Japan and reviewed the incidence, clinical symptoms, diagnosis and treatment. The classifications of the disease were briefly discussed.
