Abstract
Gastrointestinal tract duplications are rare congenital malformations that are benign, presenting usually in childhood. Mostcommon sites include the distal ileum and oesophagus. Rectal presentation is quite uncommon and is usually cystic. Thisis a case of a three year old boy who came with rectal prolapse. On further examination and imaging investigations a pre-sacral cyst was located and a diagnosis of rectal duplication was made. The cyst was completely excised by a posteriorsagittal approach.
