Description
Summary:Duplicated colon is either cystic or tubular; it is a rather unusual clinical entity that remains asymptomatic and undiagnosed in most cases. For Diagnosed cases, excision of the duplicated part is indispensable, due to reported risk of malignancy. We report two cases of colonic duplication in female children with a double anus (vestibular anus and normal site anus); one of them had total double-barreled large intestinal duplication with a double appendix without any communication of both lumens, which is a rare finding. The other case had Y-shaped Rectosigmiod duplication. No genitourinary and other organ duplication detected. When the female infant presented with the double anus, predictably colonic duplication should be considered. The precise and relevant technique should be tailored during management.
