Abstract
Tubular colonic duplications are exceedingly rare; the "Y"-shaped forms are
exceptional. In the absence of associated low vertebral or urogenital malf
ormations (often fistulas), the tubular colonic malformations frequently st
ay hidden for several years until a complication develops. The authors repo
rt a case of a spontaneous perforation of a Y-shaped tubular colonic duplic
ation during the neonatal period. J Pediatr Surg 36.1422-1424. Copyright (C
