Abstract:
We are presenting a case of 42 year old male, suffering from secondary infertility. Nine years ago he developed bilateral scrotal pain followed by azoospermia and infertility. At our center during vasography we found that the dye was not seen in bladder or prostatic urethra. But interestingly a direct communication was observed between both seminal vesicles, and through that channel an indirect communication was observed between both vas deferens. It is suggested that the patient developed obstructive azoospermia as a sequel of epididymo-orchitis. It is also concluded that seminal vesicle communication was initially not a primary problem for patient's fertility.
