It looks like a patent urachus. I have never seen one but my understanding is that it is usually not an issue requiring surgical treatment, unless the patient has a history of recurrent UTI.

I'm agree with persistent urachus .

I’d also say patent urachus. Often a nidus for infection. Is it known if the bright area on the ventral wall represents fibrous tissue, or inflammation or...? Is the tiny cystic area always present with this.? I’m sure I’m have missed a few of these.

I can only see lipid sediment in the bladder, which is an incidental finding

I have seen 5 or six patent urachus, and always is a focal cist on the craneoventral part of the bladder. In my opinion is a fibrous tissue in old cats with no clinical relevance. thank you Dominique. Regards.
