Bladder duplication in a setting of VACTER association
Bladder duplication is a rare anomaly classified as sagittal or coronal, depending on the axis of the septum. VACTER association involves congenital anomalies affecting the vertebrae, anus, heart, trachea, esophagus, kidney and genitourinary system. This is the first description of a case of coronal bladder duplication in a patient that also presented with anomalies on the foregut and other organs that correspond to VACTER association. Pertinent literature is systematically reviewed and compared with our case.
