الملخص EN

The urachus is an embryologic remnant which degenerates after the birth.

Defective obliteration of the urachus leads to urachal abnormalities.

An infected urachal cyst is one of the urachal abnormalities and this pathology is rare in adult women.

We report a case of 33-year-old woman with pelvic pain and dysuria who was diagnosed with infected urachal cyst.

Infected urachal cyst is a rare pathology in adult women and this pathology should be considered in the differential diagnosis of acute abdomen.
