Material and research methods. Under our supervision there were 2 children diagnosed with congenital anomaly of the gastrointestinal tract. Isolated duplication of the rectum. Perineal hypospadias. Narrowing of the vesicoureteral segment on the right. Ureterohydronephrosis Ⅰ degree on the right. Results. A control study did not reveal any pathology in the internal organs of the children. Ultrasound of the urinary system: the pyelocaliceal system is not dilated, no symptoms of megaureter were detected. Children do not lag behind their peers in mental and physical development. Today, the children’s condition is satisfactory, there are no complaints, they are under the supervision of a pediatric surgeon. Conclusion . Duplication of the rectum is an isolated rare pathology in children in combination with malformations of the genitourinary system, with very diverse clinical manifestations, which poses a problem in making a diagnosis before surgery.
