Zinner syndrome is a rare congenital malformation of the Wolffian duct with seminal vesicle cyst, ipsilateral renal agenesis and ejaculatory duct obstruction, seen in less than 0.002 % of the male population. An increased awareness among clinicians, urologists, and radiologists is essential, as early diagnosis and management can impact fertility outcomes. This review aims to explain and illustrate Zinner syndrome through imaging case studies. Emphasis is made on considering Zinner syndrome in the differential diagnosis of young males with pelvic pain and renal agenesis, highlighting the importance of radiological evaluation for the management of this uncommon yet clinically significant condition.
津纳综合征是一种罕见的沃尔夫管先天性畸形,伴有精囊囊肿、同侧肾缺如和射精管梗阻,在男性人群中的发病率低于0.002%。临床医生、泌尿科医生和放射科医生提高认识至关重要,因为早期诊断和治疗会影响生育结果。本综述旨在通过影像学病例研究来解释和阐述津纳综合征。重点是在对伴有盆腔疼痛和肾缺如的年轻男性进行鉴别诊断时考虑津纳综合征,强调放射学评估对管理这种罕见但具有临床意义的疾病的重要性。
