The seminal vesicles are paired organs of the male reproductive tract, which produce and secrete seminal fluid. Although congenital anomalies of seminal vesicles are usually asymptomatic, they may lead to various urogenital symptoms, including infertility. Due to their embryologic relationship with other urogenital organs, congenital anomalies of seminal vesicles may accompany other urinary or genital anomalies. Congenital anomalies of seminal vesicles include agenesis, hypoplasia, duplication, fusion, and cyst. These anomalies can be diagnosed with various imaging techniques. The main purpose of this article is to summarise imaging findings and clinical importance of congenital anomalies of seminal vesicles with images of some rare and previously unreported anomalies.
精囊是男性生殖道的成对器官,负责产生和分泌精液。虽然精囊先天性异常通常没有症状,但可能导致各种泌尿生殖系统症状,包括不孕。由于其与其他泌尿生殖器官的胚胎学关系,精囊先天性异常可能伴有其他泌尿系统或生殖系统异常。精囊先天性异常包括发育不全、发育不良、重复、融合和囊肿。这些异常可以通过各种成像技术进行诊断。本文的主要目的是通过一些罕见和以前未报道的异常图像,总结精囊先天性异常的影像学表现及临床意义。
