abstract ={Duplicates of the gastrointestinal tract are rare malformations, which most commonly become symptomatic 
and are diagnosed during the first two years of life. In this case report, we will recount the story of a 3-year-old patient, who introduced himself with lifelong, intractable obstipation and intermittently emanating stool 
from the penis. Intraoperatively a complete duplicate of the colon frame with rectovesical fistula became 
evident. After three procedures, a temporary ostomy, and a final separation of the septum via multiple 
colostomy and occlusion of the fistula, the boy is now free of complaints.}
