ABSTRACT
Introduction: Caudal duplication syndrome is a rare entity in the literature with reports of sporadic cases with incomplete duplication, being even rarer cases of complete duplication. The most accepted theory explains the origin as a duplication of structures derived from the cloaca and notochord at different extensions, as well as a flaw in the division of monozygotic twins.Case report: Male child of a mother with gestational diabetes hypothyroid, was obtained by detecting the birth defect eutocic sacred double penis and double anal canal, evacuation presents both holes and urine from both ureters, imaging studies and completing an exploratory laparoscopy was corroborated colorecto complete duplication, with two independent bladders each with a ureter, two ureters and double with two sacral spinal canal and a lipomeningocele as evidenced by MRI.
Discussion: The most accepted theory that explains the duplication of organs derived from the notochord, but are not associated with concomitant breast pathology. For surgical reconstruction, thorough examination is needed to determine which holes are the most functional and each case will require an alternative.
