“…If the two colons communicate only via a double ileum and if the ileocecal valve of the examined colon is competent, the barium will not visualize the second colon 1 . Sometimes the diagnosis may be overlooked on the first barium enema study 7 . Also when the duplicated colon terminates as a stenotic fistula or when it ends blindly in the pelvis, follow‐up abdominal imaging after barium enema 1,3 or an upper gastrointestinal study will confirm the diagnosis 1 .…”

Barium enema studies are considered essential for the diagnosis of tubular colonic duplication with opacification of two colons being the diagnostic sign. Yet in certain cases, barium enema apparently does not show positive findings. A case is reported in which a barium follow-through study established the complete diagnosis of duplication of colon and terminal ileum. The findings were confirmed on laparotomy.

An infant with pneumaturia and fecaluria was found to have a rectal duplicatation with a fistula between the duplicated rectum and the urethra. Rectal duplication, although rare, should be considered in cases of bizarre lower bowel symptoms in children. Correction in our case was effected by exclusion of the duplicated segment along with removal of its mucosal lining and division of its urethral fistula. The termination of the duplicated rectum in the urinary tract, as in cases of imperforate anus, suggests a related embryologic mechanism for the 2 types of anomalies.
