Zinner syndrome (ZS) is a highly uncommon congenital or developmental urogenital anomaly characterized by the triumvirate of unilateral renal agenesis or dysplasia, ipsilateral ejaculatory duct obstruction, and ipsilateral seminal vesicle cyst. We present three cases of ZS in a 21-year-old male, a 20-year-old male, and a 24-year-old male. The diagnostic evaluation revealed unilateral renal agenesis associated with hypertrophy of the ipsilateral seminal vesicle with cystic changes on investigation by ultrasonography (USG), computed tomography (CT), and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). The patients underwent surgical management, resulting in symptom resolution and enhanced quality of life. This case report highlights the diagnostic challenges, management options, and long-term outcomes for patients with ZS.
齐纳综合征(ZS)是一种极为罕见的先天性或发育性泌尿生殖系统异常,其特征为单侧肾缺如或发育不全、同侧射精管梗阻以及同侧精囊囊肿这三联征。我们报告了3例齐纳综合征病例,患者分别为一名21岁男性、一名20岁男性和一名24岁男性。诊断评估显示,通过超声检查(USG)、计算机断层扫描(CT)和磁共振成像(MRI)检查发现,单侧肾缺如伴有同侧精囊肥大及囊性改变。患者接受了手术治疗,症状得以缓解,生活质量得到提高。本病例报告强调了齐纳综合征患者面临的诊断挑战、治疗选择及长期预后情况。
