Description
Summary:Gastrointestinal duplications are a common type of congenital anomaly usually restricted to one part of the gut. Triplication of colon is a rare variation of duplication of the hindgut. Hindgut duplications are commonly associated with anomalies of other derivatives of the cloaca, namely, the lower genitourinary system. Here, we describe a child with triplication of colon with associated duplication of bladder and urethra and diphallus. The child described here is the only reported survivor with triplication.
