Abstract

Duplication of the vermiform appendix is uncommon; however appendicectomy is frequently performed. Failure to recognize this condition may have serious clinical and medicolegal consequences. A case is reported and the classification reviewed; medico-legal aspects are discussed. A greater awareness of the condition amongst junior surgical staff is recommended.
