Abstract
The authors report a case of colonic duplication associated with uroge nital abnormalities, which presented after obstruction of its proximal communication with the intestine. The case is unusual because the pro ximal communication was via a partial duplication of the appendix, whi ch became obstructed after impaction of a fecolith. Copyright (C) 1996 by W.S.
