Unique Association of Multiple Seminal Vesicle Cysts with Contralateral Renal Agenesis: A Rare Variant of Zinner Syndrome

چکیده
Zinner syndrome is a rare developmental anomaly of the Wolffian (mesonephric) duct which is characterised by a triad of obstruction of the ejaculatory duct, the ipsilateral seminal vesicle cyst, and the ipsilateral renal agenesis. The aim of this case report is to emphasize the importance of radiological imaging in diagnosing the condition and to report its rare unusual variant.

Zinner syndrome, the association of congenital seminal vesicle cyst and ipsilateral renal agenesis, is more often reported in adults or older adolescents. We present a case of a boy, followed up in our hospital since birth for right renal agenesis who at the age of 4 years presented a right paravesical cyst on ultrasound.

We report the case of a 13-year-old male patient with beta-thalassemic trait who presented for a colic pain. An ultrasound of the abdomen revealed absence of the right kidney with a complex hypoechogenic pelvic mass causing mild pressure on the posterior bladder wall. Urography showed hypertrophy of the left kidney with moderate ureteral enlargement of the distal third due to an insertion defec...
