What is caudal duplication? A congenital defect that causes duplication of organs Duplication of organs in the spinal, vertebral, reproductive, gastrointestinal, and genitourinary systems Duplication of organs presenting as supernumerary limbs Common condition found in genitourinary, gastrointestinal, spinal, reproductive, and vertebral systems
