Seeing double: One too many of an organ

Purpose or Case Report: The duplication of structures in the body has been a curious topic to the field of medicine for centuries. It is rare to find a radiologist who has not seen at least one duplicated or partially duplicated organ, usually of the genitourinary system, and often incidentally. While implications of GU duplication have been study previously, often due to infertility or renal issues, other organ system duplications and their implications to the patient often remain a mystery.
Methods & Materials: A retrospective analysis of multimodality imaging in patients with duplicated structures presenting to an urban children’s hospital since 2005. Imaging and clinical history are correlated with clinical, surgical, and pathologic findings where applicable. A variety of organ and structural duplications are selected for imaging review.
Results: An enthralling visual array of organ/structure duplication will include cases such as duplicated duodenum, gallbladder, vessels, urinary bladder/genitalia, among others. Clinical implications of each will be discussed as available on a case by case basis, as well as surgical and pathologic findings where applicable.
Conclusions: Organ/structure duplication is a spellbinding topic to the pediatric radiologist, as they are usually incidentally discovered, and the implications are often unknown. Each case is an opportunity for creation of mesmerizing reconstructed images and discussion with colleagues in other clinical areas.
