Article Abstract
Urachal anomalies are rare affections due to incomplete closure of urachus during foetal period. Colo-urachal-cutaneous fistula is an uncommon complication of urachal anomalies. Only three cases have been reported so far in the literature. Herein, we report a new case in a 51-year-old patient presenting with umbilical feculent discharge lasting for 4 weeks. Diagnosis was made by computed tomography. After en bloc total surgical excision followup was uneventful.

Background: Meckel's diverticulum (MD), a congenital anomaly of the gastrointestinal tract, affects approximately 2 % of the population, but complications occur in only 4-6 % of cases. Symptomatic MD is typically seen in children, with adult presentations being rare and often incidental. Umbilical complications related to persistent vitelline duct remnants are extremely uncommon in adults.

We report a 38-year-old female with lower abdominal pain and UTI symptoms, incidentally found to have a non-infected urachal cyst on CT imaging. Managed conservatively with antibiotics, the case underscores the importance of individualized treatment and vigilant follow-up to monitor potential complications.

Patent urachus is a rare urachal anomaly. This case involves a newborn female with a cyst near the umbilicus and a small patent ductus arteriosus with left-to-right shunting. A low-dose fluoroscopic cystogram revealed contrast entering a tubular structure extending from the bladder to the umbilicus, with evidence of leakage at the umbilical site, confirming a patent urachus.

Introduction: Congenital anomalies of the umbilicus, including remnants of the omphalomesenteric duct and urachus, result from the incomplete regression of fetal structures around the 10th week of gestation. The coexistence of these anomalies in a single patient is exceptionally uncommon. This report presents the case of a neonate with an umbilical nodule and periumbilical cyst, subsequently identified as coexisting remnants of the omphalomesenteric duct and urachus.

Neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1), also known as von Recklinghausen's disease, is an autosomal dominant disorder characterized by multiple café-au-lait macules and cutaneous neurofibromas. Although neurofibromas are common in NF1, involvement of the urinary tract is rare, with the bladder being the most frequently affected site. Urachal neurofibromas are extremely rare, and their diagnosis and management remain challenging due to nonspecific imaging characteristics and their often asymptomatic presentation.
