Core Tip
Core Tip: Immediate surgical excision of urachal remnants has been generally recommended before. However, patients suffer multiple postoperative complications, resulting in re-operation. Recently, accumulating evidence has indicated that a nonoperative approach may be a safe, reasonable alternative to surgical intervention, especially in patients under 6 mo old. Here, we report a case of urachal anomaly with infection that managed with non-surgical therapy, including: Infection control, wound management and nutrition support. After 2 wk, umbilical symptoms fully recovered. Reoccurring symptoms were not found during follow-up.
