title: Periumbilical pain secondary to persistent urachal band.
abstract: An eight-year-old boy had periumbilical pain associated with micturition; the disorder was secondary to a persistent urachal band. Surgical excision of the urachus resulted in resolution of the symptoms. Although urachal anomalies are unusual, they should be considered in the differential diagnosis of periumbilical pain with micturition.
