ABSTRACT

Background: The caudal duplication syndrome is defined by the association between gastrointestinal, genitourinary, and distal neural tube malformations and duplications. We presented a case report and the possible embryologic origin is discussed.
Clinical case: We describe a twenty-one year female patient, with clinical and imaging diagnosis of duplication caudal. She has normal psychomotor development.
Conclusions: The current case integrates a Caudal Duplication with no alteration of the spinal column. We propose that this malformation result from an insult in the primitive hindgut.
