| Abstrakt: | Caudal duplication syndrome (CDS) is a rare congenital anomaly in which a wide spectrum of malformations ranging from partial or isolated to complete duplication of caudal organs in the gastrointestinal tract (GIT), genitourinary tract (GUT), and spinal and neural systems occur. Its exact cause is unknown, however various factors such as genetic disorders and conjoined twinning are mentioned in the etiology of CDS. Second-trimester anomaly scan can diagnose this anomaly prenatally. This case report describes a primi postnatal patient with CDS without any neurological symptoms. She gave birth to a healthy baby girl by cesarean section with breech presentation as an indication. Competing Interests: The authors have declared that no competing interests exist.
