  • Title: Anterior colorectal duplication presenting as rectal prolapse.
    Author: Ramirez-Resendiz A, Asz J, Medina-Vega FA, Ortega-Salgado JA.
    Journal: Pediatr Surg Int; 2007 Sep; 23(9):919-21. PubMed ID: 17387497.
    Abstract:
    Duplications of the gastrointestinal (GI) tract are rare. Only 5% of them are rectal and there are very few reports of rectal prolapse (RP) caused by a duplication. An 11 month-old female presented with a RP caused by a blind-ended anterior tubular colorectal duplication. The duplication was successfully opened and connected to the normal rectum without complications. Although infrequent, a rectal duplication should be considered in the differential diagnosis of RP.
