Surgical management of caudal duplication syndrome: A rare entity with a centered approach on quality of life.

Conclusion: Spine/spinal cord duplication syndromes are typically associated with spine/spinal cord abnormalities and are often associated with moderate/severe neurological deficits. Additional malformations associated with the CDS include duplication of vascular structures/organs (e.g., bladder and distal gastrointestinal tract). Here, we focused on both the patient's quality of life and the multidisciplinary approach to managing the duplication syndrome associated with multiple system malformations (e.g., neurological/spinal, bladder, and gastrointestinal, others).
