We report the diffusion-weighted imaging findings (DWI) of a case with urachal abscess. Magnetic resonance imaging revealed an enhancing thick, walled cystic mass arising from the superior surface of the urinary bladder and extenting to the level of the umbilicus. DWI revealed restricted diffusion of the cyst content consistent with abscess formation with an ADC value of 0.76 x 10¯³ mm²/s.

Bu olgu sunumunda urakal abseli olguda difüzyon MR görüntüleme özelliklerini tanımladık. MRG’de mesane üst duvarından umbilikus seviyesine uzanan, kalın duvarlı, kontrastlanan kistik kitle saptandı. Difüzyon MR’da abse ile uyumlu difüzyon kısıtlılığı ve düsük ADC değeri bulundu (0.76 x 10?³ mm²/s).
