| Summary: | An 11-month old boy presented with 2 months history of progressive abdominal distension. The current presentation was preceded by an initial presentation of fecaluria during the neonatal period. Digital rectal examination revealed a firm mass anterior to the rectum. Computed tomography (CT) of the abdomen and pelvis showed a long tubular structure adjacent to the native colon and rectum filled with fecal material. He underwent fenestration of the tubular colorectal duplication and recovered well. We report a case of duplicated colon and rectum with a unique initial presentation of fecaluria during the neonatal period. |
