Magnetic resonance enterography confirmed the diagnosis of an infected urachal cyst, and she eventually had surgery. The removed material had a significant chronic inflammatory and foreign body type granulomatous response, according to histology. Because urachal cyst is an uncommon disease, early identification requires a high level of suspicion, and urachal cyst should be included in the differential diagnosis.

Before puberty, the hypothalamus releases GnRH in a low frequency, low amplitude pulsatile manner. This along with the immature hypothalamic-pituitary-gonadal axis activity, results in low estrogen levels and the absence of a fully functional ovarian cycle. At puberty, GnRH secretion increases in both frequency and...
