abstract: This report describes a case of uterine didelphys, lipomeningocele, meatal stenosis, and inguinal hernia presenting in a single individual. This unusual group of birth defects suggests a common mechanism of malformation in tailbud maturation which involves both the müllerian duct and the distal spinal cord.
