A unique case of complete tubular colonic duplication with normal anus accompanied by vestibular fistula in a 12years _ old _ girl - A case report.

Abstract

Duplication of the digestive system is one of the rare cases, which can vary in shape and size and is cystic in 80% of cases. Most cases of duplication are often diagnosed before the age of two years. There are many ways to make the diagnosis, with computed tomography being the best, and duplication is often diagnosed during surgery. We present the case of a child suffering from complete duplication of colon with normal anus, accompanied by vestibular fistula with double urethra and vagina. The diagnosis was made at our hospital, the necessary surgery was performed, and a future plan for the child's condition was developed. CLINICAL DISCUSSION: a colonic duplication may be associated with malformations of other organs, and sometimes it may be associated with a vestibular or vaginal fistula. Therefore, we must evaluate patients for other anomalies when diagnosing a duplication. The most appropriate diagnostic method is CT, and surgery is recommended in symptomatic or asymptomatic patients. When keeping in mind the possibility of a duplication of the digestive system, the surgeon helps to plan the surgery well, in addition to the importance of informing the parents of the possibility of eradication.
