Abstract
Ultrasound of a patent urachus has been well described. However, ultrasound of the other congenital abnormalities affecting the umbilicus has not. Two cases are described, one of a vitelline (omphalomesenteric) duct and one of an umbilical granuloma, in which the ultrasound findings guided the child's management, preventing a minilaparotomy.
