[size=20px]A pediatrician sees an otherwise well six-week old former term baby for drainage from the umbilicus. On exam there is an eight mm diameter mound of pink tissue with no active drainage. He prescribes silver nitrate for the lesion, orders an ultrasound and refers the baby to see a pediatric surgeon. After silver nitrate application the lesion has regressed and only a scab remains. There has been no drainage for a week. The ultrasound reveals a three to six mm hypoechoic tract extending from the bladder to the umbilicus. The abdominal exam is normal except for the scab at the umbilicus. There is no sinus tract.

The best next step in management for this asymptomatic baby with a history of umbilical drainage is

A observation with clinic follow-up.

B application of antibiotic ointment.

C further application of silver nitrate.

D resection of a urachal remnant.

E voiding cystourethrogram.[/size]
