Nineteen cases of duplication of segments of the long arm of chromosome X have been published in 13 males and in 6 females. We report an additional case of a male with growth and mental retardation, growth hormone deficiency, compensated primary hypothyroidism, distinctive anomalies of the face, hyp

Abstract
We describe a boy with a septated bladder and dilated bowel loop found on prenatal ultrasonography. Subsequent prenatal MRI diagnosed a probable caudal duplication anomaly. Postnatal investigations and surgical findings confirmed duplication of bladder, urethra, and bowel from distal ileum to rectum. This is the first reported case of combined bladder and colon duplication suspected antenatally with thorough imaging investigations including fetal MRI. While diagnosis of bladder duplication has been described, prenatal diagnosis of intestinal duplication has not been documented previously. This report of prenatal imaging with surgical and pathological correlation contributes to our detailed understanding of the spectrum of anatomy seen in caudal duplication anomaly.
