Abstract : The vermiform appendix has been noted as a vestigial structure that has lost most of its original
functions through the process of evolution. Duplication of appendix is extremely rare congenital entity
which can be related with other anomalies of gastrointestinal tract. Double appendix represents a
challenging clinical scenario in cases of right lower quadrant pain. In the present study we report a
peculier case of double appendix. Understanding of appendiceal duplication is essential for clinicians to
prevent acute and serious intestinal, genitourinary conditions; for surgeons performing surgeries and
for medico legal connotations.
