Abstract:
Zinner syndrome is a developmental anomaly of the urogenital tract. This condition is defined by the triad of unilateral renal agenesis, ipsilateral seminal vesicle cyst and ipsilateral ejaculatory duct obstruction. The syndrome is due to malformation of the mesonephric duct during embryogenesis. The condition used to be rare but is now frequently encountered due to the advent of MRI and CT. MRI confirms the diagnosis by revealing the seminal vesicle cyst and its contents, and the ejaculatory duct obstruction, while CT confirms renal agenesis. We report the case of a young patient with Zinner syndrome.
Learning Points:
Zinner syndrome consists of the triad of renal agenesis, seminal vesicle cyst and ejaculatory duct obstruction.Any insult during embryogenesis of the mesonephric duct in men can result in Zinner syndrome.Pelvic MRI is the gold standard to confirm the diagnosis of Zinner syndrome.
