Abstract
Appendiceal duplication is a very rare malformation. It is found in children exceptionally in adults. We report a case of a 24-year-old patient who presented to the emergency for acute appendicular syndrome. Diagnosis made with CT scan wich showed a duplex vermiform appendix with an enlarged retro caecal appendix and a normal lateral caecal appendix.
