Resumo

This is a case report of a 32-year-old male patient who presented with recurrent urinary tract infections and periumbilical discharge. Radiological investigations showed a urachal sinus with a communicating tract to the dome of the bladder. The patient underwent successful endoscopic removal of the urachal sinus including the dome of the bladder, which was closed with sutures. Histopathological examination confirmed the diagnosis of urachal sinus. The patient had an uneventful postoperative recovery with no recurrence of symptoms during the follow-up period. Urachal sinus is a rare congenital anomaly that can present with various clinical manifestations. Early diagnosis and prompt surgical management are essential to prevent complications.
