• urachal cysts

Urachal cysts are usually asymptomatic. Symptoms, when present, are usually acute abdominal pain, fever, midline hypogastric tenderness, palpable mass, evidence of urinary infection or haematuria due to infection of the cyst. We report an unique case of dyspareunia and "abdominal fluid flowing feeling" caused by an urachal cyst in a 28 year-old nulliparous woman. Diagnosis was achieved by US and MRI. Cystography excluded any cyst-bladder communication. Laparoscopic surgery was performed without perioperative complications. Patient obtained immediate relief of symptoms still continuing at a 24 months follow up. Clin Ter 2011; 162(5):439-441
