Unusual association of Meckel's diverticulum with double appendix – A rare finding
INTRODUCTION: Appendix duplication is an extremely rare congenital anomaly that is seen in 0.004–0.009% of appendectomy specimens. Duplicated appendix may be associated with number of congenital anomalies. PRESENTATION OF CASE: In this case report, we are presenting a rare case of duplicated vermifo...

description | INTRODUCTION: Appendix duplication is an extremely rare congenital anomaly that is seen in 0.004–0.009% of appendectomy specimens. Duplicated appendix may be associated with number of congenital anomalies. PRESENTATION OF CASE: In this case report, we are presenting a rare case of duplicated vermiform appendix with a co-existing Meckel's diverticulum. DISCUSSION: Anomalies of appendix are rare and duplication of vermiform appendix is extremely rare. In 1936, Cave classified appendiceal duplication for the first time which was modified by Wallbridge in 1963 into three types. Concomitant malformations or duplications of the large intestine or the genitourinary system may be present, especially in types B1 and C probably due to their similar embryological origin. Here we are presenting a very rare case report of type B1 appendix anomaly associated with Meckel's diverticulum. CONCLUSION: Surgeons should be aware of these conditions because of the possible clinical implications. |
