Abstract
Congenital pouch colon, an unusual high anorectal malformation, is rarely associated
with exstrophy variants. We describe a case of congenital pouch colon associated with
duplicate bladder exstrophy, never reported before in literature. The relevant literature
is reviewed, and the possible embryogenesis of this complex anomaly is suggested.
