Zinner syndrome: A rarer variant of a rare syndrome

Abstract

Zinner syndrome, characterized by the combination of absent unilateral kidney, obstructed ejaculatory duct on the same side, and cysts in the seminal vesicle, represents a rare congenital malformation of the mesonephric duct. Its symptoms are often vague, ranging from urinary discomfort to painful ejaculation and infertility, making it difficult to diagnose without imaging. In this report, we discuss a less common form of Zinner syndrome identified through diagnostic imaging.
