Ejaculatory-duct calculi can cause obstruction and infertility in men. Transurethral resection of the verumontanum and calculi removal is the recommended treatment for this rare condition.

Area of Science:

  • Reproductive Medicine
  • Urology
  • Medical Imaging

Background:

  • Ejaculatory duct obstruction is a rare cause of male infertility.
  • Calculi within the ejaculatory ducts are an even less common etiology.
  • This case highlights a specific instance of this rare condition.

Observation:

  • A 32-year-old male presented with infertility.
  • Diagnostic workup included magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and vasography.
  • Findings revealed ejaculatory-duct calculi causing obstruction.

Findings:

  • The patient was diagnosed with ejaculatory-duct obstruction secondary to calculi.
  • Magnetic resonance imaging and vasography were crucial for diagnosis.
  • Transurethral resection of the verumontanum was performed for management.

Implications:

  • This case underscores the importance of considering ejaculatory-duct calculi in the differential diagnosis of male infertility.
  • Transurethral resection of the verumontanum and calculi extraction represents an effective management strategy.
  • Further research into the prevalence and optimal management of ejaculatory-duct calculi is warranted.
