A case of association of duplication of the urogenital and intestinal tracts.
Report of the case of a Caucasian girl, presently 3 years old, who has been followed at the Pediatric Service of the Walter Cantidio Hospital (Federal University of Ceará; Fortaleza, Brazil) since she was 15 days old. At birth she presented a duplication of the bladder, urethra, external genitalia, vagina, colon, and rectum. No cardiac anomalies, bone deformities, or other congenital malformations were detected. When she was 16 months old the child underwent corrective surgery, with rectal vault reconstruction, placing a single and continent anal sphincter in its usual position and resection of the longitudinal vaginal septum, forming a single vaginal cavity. The surgery also resulted in a perineum of normal appearance. Presently, the patient is doing well.
