Mymensingh Med J. 2018 Apr;27(2):397-403.

Abstract

Complete colorectal tubular duplication is very rare congenital anomaly and its association with anorectal malformation is extremely rare. Preoperative diagnosis is very difficult and management is also challenging. We report a case of a newborn present as a bucket handle variety of anorectal malformation which was per-operatively diagnosed as an ARM with rectal duplication. At his 14th months of age on laparotomy patient was diagnosed as a case of ARM with total colonic duplication with single appendix. We managed the case successfully without extensive bowel resection in staged procedure.
