A rare case of unilateral postaxial duplicated foot in a developmentally normal child

Diplopodia, being a rare congenital disorder, is infrequently discussed in published texts. Most reported cases have accounted the involvement of duplicated preaxial digits with other associated organ system and physical deformities.
