Persistent cloaca and caudal duplication are 2 rare anomalies of embryogenesis that can present with a wide variety of pelvic malformations. Here we present the rare case of a female born with both abnormalities. The infant was born with a single introitus, an imperforate anus, a didelphys uterus, a duplicated cervix and vagina, and accessory limb and coccyx. Multiple surgeries were performed to correct for the anomalies that would have otherwise had important health and lifestyle consequences for the child.
