Clinical case of 45,X/46,XY mosaic male with ejaculatory disorder associated with seminal vesicle dysplasia: a case report.

INTRODUCTION

45,X/46,XY mosaicism is a rare anomaly in sexual differentiation, presenting with diverse phenotypes and often leading to infertility due to abnormal gonadal development.

AIMS

This report aims to present a case study of a 45,X/46,XY mosaic male patient with an ejaculatory disorder attributed to seminal vesicle dysplasia.

METHODS

In this case study, diagnostic procedures encompassed blood tests, semen analysis, chromosomal examination, and imaging studies to assess gonadal morphology. Treatment strategies included attempted varicocelectomy, pharmacological intervention with amoxapine, and surgical testicular sperm extraction. Additionally, the patient underwent assisted reproductive techniques, specifically intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI), to facilitate pregnancy for his wife.

RESULTS

A 32-year-old man could not ejaculate, with post-orgasmic urinalysis revealing minimal sperm presence. Chromosomal analysis confirmed 45,X/46,XY mosaicism. Despite undergoing microsurgical varicocelectomy for clinical varicocele and receiving tricyclic antidepressants, no improvement in semen volume occurred. Imaging studies indicated ejaculatory disorder due to prostate and seminal vesicle aplasia. Consequently, surgical retrieval of testicular sperm was performed, leading to successful pregnancy via ICSI for his wife.

CONCLUSION

Our approach has effectively addressed ejaculatory disorder in 45,X/46,XY mosaic men, resulting in successful pregnancy.
