Prevalence of urachal remnants in children according to age and their anatomic variants

ConclusionsOur results suggest a recommendation of nonoperative management of asymptomatic urachal remnants, especially in patients less than 1  year of age due to its probable spontaneous resolution. Knowledge of the anatomic variants could improve the accuracy of diagnosis of urachal remnants and the comprehension of its structure and localization for the achievement of accurate and complete excision.
