Urachal Cyst?

I just found today that my daughter (age16) has a urachal cyst. Hers extends from her naval down to her bladder, about 4x6 in size. She discovered it herself, and a cat scan determined it was this type of cyst. We were told it was caused by a fetal remnant that normally turns to scar tissue and doesn't present any further problems. My daughters, however, began to grow and filled with fluid, and will require surgery to remove it. I'm looking for more information on this type of urachal cyst. The one in the images on your website, seem to be related to pregnancy. Is there a place I can gain more information?

Thank you.
