Infantile granulomatous urachal abscess with acute localized peritonitis and appendicitis.

Infected urachal remnants in early childhood are occasionally seen. However, intraperitoneal penetration of an infected urachal remnant, resulting in acute peritonitis, is rare. We report a case of infantile granulomatous urachal abscess extending into the peritoneum and appendix. The diagnosis and treatment of urachal abscess in childhood are discussed.
