Abstract

Caudal regression syndrome covers a range of congenital malformations that range from simple anal atresia to absence of sacral, lumbar, and possibly lower thoracic, vertebrae. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first case of caudal regression syndrome combined with rectal duplication. We present a case and describe our technique of reconstruction.
