The estimated prevalence of this syndrome is 1 per 100,000 births. A range of anomalies is observed in urinary and gastrointestinal tracts as well as in skeletal and neural structures of the spine and even limbs of these patients. Various factors such as genetic disorders and conjoined twinning have been mentioned in etiology of the disease. We introduce a case of this rare disease referred to our center for imaging as an infant with increased soft tissue in perineum without excretion of meconium from birth but with evidence of duplication in the genitourinary system (vagina and urethra) and gastrointestinal tract (rectum and colon) that was subject to reconstructive surgery.
