Literature Review: Zinner Syndrome

Zinner Syndrome (ZS) is a rare congenital anomaly defined by a triad: unilateral renal agenesis, an ipsilateral seminal vesicle cyst, and ejaculatory duct obstruction. First reported by Zinner in 1914, the syndrome is considered the male equivalent of Mayer-Rokitansky-K?ster-Hauser (MRKH) syndrome in females. Due to its nonspecific presentation and low prevalence, it is often underdiagnosed. This review presents a comprehensive overview of the embryological basis, clinical manifestations, diagnostic approaches, and current management options for Zinner Syndrome, while also addressing recent advances and the impact on fertility.

Abstract

Zinner Syndrome (ZS) is a rare congenital anomaly defined by a triad: unilateral renal agenesis, an ipsilateral seminal vesicle cyst, and ejaculatory duct obstruction. First reported by Zinner in 1914, the syndrome is considered the male equivalent of Mayer-Rokitansky-K?ster-Hauser (MRKH) syndrome in females. Due to its nonspecific presentation and low prevalence, it is often underdiagnosed. This review presents a comprehensive overview of the embryological basis, clinical manifestations, diagnostic approaches, and current management options for Zinner Syndrome, while also addressing recent advances and the impact on fertility.
