RESUMEN
SUMMARY: This report describes an isolated urethral duplication in the coronal plane in a child referred with primary 'enuresis'. This presentation is unique because duplications usually occur in the sagittal plane. In patients with suspected urethral duplication, magnetic resonance imaging in conjunction with catheterisation of the distal duplicate opening accurately delineates the abnormality, so that individualised treatment strategies can be considered.

A duplication cyst of the caecum is a very rare congenital malformation, representing 0.4% of all gastrointestinal duplications. We present a case of cystic duplication of the caecum in a 12-year-old child who presented with a right iliac fossa mass and peritonitis. An ischaemic, perforated caecal duplication cyst was found on emergency laparotomy, mandating a right hemicolectomy.
