title: A rare case of truncal duplication.
abstract: A rare case of truncal duplication is presented in which the infant had an extra truncus with well-formed extremities, a hypoplastic thorax, and a small abdomen. The truncus was attached to the infant from the thorax to the umbilicus. Successful separation of the truncus and reconstruction of the thoracoabdominal wall defect were performed in the neonatal period.
