This is a case report of prenatal observation of uterovaginal duplication in a fetus with a complicated persistent cloaca. This is a rare anomaly where the products of the gastrointestinal, urinary, and genital tracts empty into a common channel with a single perineal opening. Prenatal ultrasound appearance is compared with a postnatal sonogram and contrast studies, which confirmed the prenatal diagnosis.
