Abstract (EN): Tubular colonic duplications are exceedingly rare; the "Y"-shaped forms are exceptional. In the absence of associated low vertebral or urogenital malformations (often fistulas), the tubular colonic malformations frequently stay hidden for several years until a complication develops. The authors report a case of a spontaneous perforation of a Y-shaped tubular colonic duplication during the neonatal period. J Pediatr Surg 36.1422-1424. Copyright (C) 2001 by W.B. Saunders Company.
