Rectal duplication, a rare congenital anomaly, can cause chronic constipation. Early diagnosis and surgical management are crucial for successful treatment of this condition.

Area of Science:

  • Gastroenterology
  • Surgical Pathology
  • Congenital Anomalies

Background:

  • Rectal duplication is an uncommon congenital malformation.
  • It can present with varied clinical symptoms, including chronic constipation.
  • Delayed diagnosis can complicate management and patient outcomes.

Observation:

  • A 52-year-old male presented with chronic constipation attributed to rectal duplication.
  • The anomaly was diagnosed during a repeat laparotomy following an unusual clinical course.
  • Successful surgical management was achieved.

Findings:

  • This case highlights the diagnostic challenges associated with rectal duplication in adults.
  • Atypical presentations can obscure the diagnosis, necessitating advanced imaging or surgical exploration.

  • Complete surgical excision is the definitive treatment for symptomatic rectal duplication.

    • Implications:

    • Increased awareness of rectal duplication anomalies is vital for timely diagnosis.
    • Prompt recognition and surgical intervention can prevent long-term complications.
    • This case underscores the importance of considering rare congenital anomalies in adult patients with chronic gastrointestinal issues.
