Abstract

Asymptomatic microscopic urachal remnants located at the vertex of the urinary bladder are common in cats. Because they reduce the tensile strength of the bladder wall at this location, they represent risk factors for development of acquired macroscopic diverticula in cats with lower urinary tract disorders. Elimination of the underlying cause of lower urinary tract disease is frequently associated with resolution of acquired macroscopic vesicourachal diverticula.
