Abstract
Zinner’s syndrome is a rare congenital abnormality consisting of unilateral renal agenesis, ipsilateral seminal vesicle cyst, and ipsilateral ejaculatory duct obstruction. The mutual embryological origins of the seminal vesicle and the ureteral bud from the Wolffian duct result in both anomalous seminal vesicle and urinary tracts. Most cases have nonspecific symptoms such as prostatism, urinary urgency, dysuria, painful ejaculation, and perineal discomfort. The usual presentation is between the third and fourth decades of life, with infertility being the most common complaint. Ultrasound and magnetic resonance imaging can easily detect this condition. We present here an extremely rare developmental anomaly involving the Wolffian ducts, which would remain undiagnosed but for radiologic imaging.
