Abstract

We report a newborn female who presented with patent urachus and partially prolapsed urinary bladder that was misdiagnosed as ruptured omphalocele along-with omphalomesenteric duct. No antenatal work up was done during pregnancy. Patient was operated through a trans-umbilical approach. A large patent urachus was separated from the surrounding structures. It continued with large thick walled urinary bladder. After excision the urinary bladder was closed in two layers. Postoperative course was uneventful.  
Key words
Patent urachus, Prolapsed urinary bladder, Omphalocele, Omphalomesenteric duct.
