[Urachal remnants: excision or surveillance? Apropos of 3 cases and review of the literature].

Abstract

Three cases of symptomatic umbilical residues revealed by hematuria and/or mictional disorders are reported. Ultrasonography, computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging visualized an aspecific formation of the bladder dome. Total exeresis requiring partial cystectomy in all cases was curative (tow years follow-up). All clinical signs have disappeared.
