Abstract
- Background: A urachal cyst has a rare incidence that has been reported as 1/5,000 live birth. Case presentation: We report two patients with a complicated urachal cyst, a 5-year-old female who presented to the emergency department with severe abdominal pain and a 3-year-old female presenting with abdominal pain and constipation. Upon laparoscopic exploration both patients had complicated urachal cysts which were adherent to the urinary bladder. Conclusion: Complicated urachal cysts can present with acute abdominal pain.
