title: Parasitic twin within spina bifida.
abstract: Spinal dysraphisms in association with accessory limbs are extremely rare congenital anomalies. The potential mechanisms of development and classification of these anomalies remain unclear. We report a unique case of a baby boy with an accessory foot and external genitalia in association with spina bifida.
