Closed neural tube defects are known to be associated with multiple syndromic anomalies. These defects add to the patient’s morbidity and have a deleterious effect on their life. After a thorough review of literature, we could not find and reported cases of bilateral duplicated renal collecting systems in association with a closed neural tube defect. We are reporting this case to bring to light its rare nature and promote discussion related to its further management.
