Congenital pouch colon (CPC) is a rare abnormality with few reports in Europe, frequently detected in the Indian Peninsula, where it constitutes 15% of all anorectal malformations (ARM). This report presents a congenital pouch colon case combined with appendix duplication (AD) further complicated by midgut volvulus and intends to place emphasis on their concurrence.
