Two paediatric cases of patent urachus are reported. In one of these cases, the anomaly was isolated whereas in the other case an omphalocele was also noted. Radical excision of the urachus with segmental resection of the bladder was easy and highly effective. Anatomy, complications and therapeutic aspects of this rare condition are discussed.
