Popis: The urachus can present a partial or complete obliteration defect. If the defect is situated in its vesical extremity, it then forms a diverticulum. The authors report a case of diverticulum of the urachus in a young adult, responsible for recurrent febrile urinary tract infections since the beginning of adolescence. The diagnosis was suggested by ultrasonography and magnetic resonance imaging and confirmed by cystoscopy and histological examination. Treatment consisted of complete surgical resection via a suprapubic incision.
