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.
盲肠和阑尾重复是一种罕见的先天性异常,在因其他指征进行探查时偶然发现。我们在此报告一例18个月大的女童病例,该女童被诊断为肛门直肠畸形伴持续性泄殖腔,在手术时发现阑尾和盲肠重复。两个阑尾均通过独立的基部附着于盲肠。因此,进行了阑尾切除术和乙状结肠造瘘术。
