ABSTRACT
The duplication of the cecum and appendix is a rare congenital anomaly found incidentally on exploration for another indication. We present here a case of a female child at 18 months of life, who was a diagnosed case of anorectal malformation with a persistent cloaca and at the time of the surgery, duplication of the appendix and cecum was found. Both the appendices were attached to the cecum with a separate base. Thus, appendectomies and a sigmoid divided colostomy were performed.
