Zinner syndrome comprises a triad of unilateral renal agenesis, ipsilateral seminal vesicle cyst, and ejaculatory duct obstruction, which can be accompanied by additional abnormalities of the genitourinary tract in some cases. Patients may be asymptomatic or present with urinary, reproductive, and/or local pain symptoms. Diagnosis is most commonly achieved via MRI. Here, we present the case of an 18-year-old male previously diagnosed with unilateral renal agenesis, who presented with testicular and penile pain, along with urinary urgency and frequency. MRI of the abdomen and pelvis revealed all three components of Zinner syndrome as well as an ectopic ureter emptying into the seminal vesicle. Our case adds to the existing limited literature on this rare syndrome and broadens the understanding of how this syndrome can present both clinically and radiologically.
齐纳综合征包括单侧肾缺如、同侧精囊囊肿和射精管梗阻三联征,某些情况下可伴有泌尿生殖道的其他异常。患者可能无症状,或出现泌尿系统、生殖系统和/或局部疼痛症状。诊断最常用的方法是磁共振成像(MRI)。在此,我们报告一例18岁男性病例,该患者此前被诊断为单侧肾缺如,现出现睾丸和阴茎疼痛,伴有尿急和尿频。腹部和盆腔的MRI显示了齐纳综合征的所有三个组成部分,以及一条异位输尿管排入精囊。我们的病例补充了关于这种罕见综合征的现有有限文献,并拓宽了对该综合征在临床和影像学上表现的认识。
