Abstract :
Urethral duplication is a rare condition occurs as a congenital malformation either independently
or in the setting of other congenital malformations such as caudal duplication syndrome. Its
prevalence becomes even rarer if it manifests as two side-by-side tracts in coronal plan.
Nonetheless, we introduce a unique presentation of complete coronal urethral duplication
accompanied by astounding manifestations of gastrointestinal malformations different from what is
expected for a normal hind gut or caudal duplication syndrome. A 6-year-old boy with complete
coronal duplication of urethra along with duplication of appendix, sigmoid and rectum as well as
developmental delay, attracted our attention to report.
