Duplication of penis has been reported to occur once in every 5 to 6 million live births.[1] It presents as duplication of only glans to complete duplication of the phallus and usually associated with other anomalies like bifid scrotum, double bladder, vertebral anomalies and ano-rectal malformations etc.[2] With this backdrop, herein we present a newborn with complete duplication of the entire...

Complete hind gut and anal canal duplication is a rare entity, usually remaining asymptomatic till the disease comes to light due to associated anomalies or due to cosmetic reasons. Classical imaging consisting of barium enema examination served a limited role, in terms of depicting the length of gut segment involved. Technical advances in magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) with three-dimensional...

Spine duplication, which is at the severe end of the split cord malformation, is rarely seen. Radiographic, CT, and MR images of a 15-year-old girl who had lower back pain showed asymmetric lumbar spine duplication with spinal cord tethering secondary to a filum lipoma in the sacrum.
