The giant umbilical cord: an unusual presentation of a patent urachus

Kerilyn K Nobuhara et al. J Pediatr Surg. 2004 Jan.

Abstract

Umbilical cord anomalies remain a frequent newborn nursery consultation for the pediatric surgeon. The authors report on a giant umbilical cord associated with a patent urachus. Although it is an uncommon anomaly, operative exploration must be carried out to repair the associated urachal remnant.
