This 1-month'0Id male infant presenting with am' phaloce!e and anomaly of external genitalia was found to have double bladder at autopsy. Associated anomalies were dysplasia of the left kidney, incom· plete Y'shaped duplication of left ureter, deviation of penis to the right with hypospadia, cryptorchidism, prolapse of rectal mucosa, and separation of pubes. The cause of death was suspected to be sepsis due to urinary tract infection. Associated anomalies ineluding omphalocele are regarded as secondary to cystic dilatation of duplicated bladder
