Abstract: | Prenatal sonographic features of the rare anomaly of complete duplication of the urinary bladder and urethra are described in this case report. A coronal scan of the fetal pelvis at 29 weeks of gestation revealed two pyriform cystic structures. The umbilical arteries coursed around both of them. They emptied independently of each other. Postnatally the newborn had two vulvae, two anal openings, two bladders and two uteri. |
