Zinner Syndrome: Case report of atypical symptoms and literature

Zinner Syndrome is a rare congenital anomaly of the urogenital tract, characterized by unilateral renal agenesis, ejaculatory duct obstruction and ipsilateral seminal vesicle cyst. Here, we present a case of a 54-year-old-male with anejaculation and frequent nocturnal emissions, denies fever, scrotal or perineal pain, hematospermia, hematuria, or lower urinary tract symptoms. Imaging studies revealed atypical findings of this syndrome. This study highlights the importance of recognizing atypical symptoms and appropriate management to relieve symptoms and improve quality of life.

Abstract

Zinner Syndrome is a rare congenital anomaly of the urogenital tract, characterized by unilateral renal agenesis, ejaculatory duct obstruction and ipsilateral seminal vesicle cyst. Here, we present a case of a 54-year-old-male with anejaculation and frequent nocturnal emissions, denies fever, scrotal or perineal pain, hematospermia, hematuria, or lower urinary tract symptoms. Imaging studies revealed atypical findings of this syndrome. This study highlights the importance of recognizing atypical symptoms and appropriate management to relieve symptoms and improve quality of life.
