Y-shaped colonic duplication: report of a case and literature review.

Colonic duplication is a very rare congenital anomaly that is usually detected in infancy and early childhood. In the English literature, 6 cases of Y-shaped colonic duplication have been reported since 1953. We conducted a review of the reported cases, and we present a new case of a Y-shaped duplication of the sigmoid colon manifesting as long-term abdominal pain and constipation.
