Congenital double anus with total colon duplication: a case report

J Pediatr Surg. 2007 Jan;42(1):E1-2. doi: 10.1016/j.jpedsurg.2006.11.001.

Abstract

Cases of congenital double anus are very rare. The number of cases of hindgut duplication of all kinds is slightly higher, and some series include patients with genitourinary and genitalia duplications but with a single anus. However, double termination with tubular duplication is rarely heard of. We report on the case of a patient with 2 well-formed ani, total colon duplication, and 2 vaginas.
