Abstract

Background: Zinner syndrome is a rare congenital defect, typically manifests in young males with a variety of symptoms. The image findings are clearly recognizable, and recent therapies have been well-documented. Cystic lesions of the seminal vesicle can appear in huge numbers of patients. Due to the fact that the seminal vesicles and ureteral buds arise from the Wolffian duct, associated ipsilateral renal agenesis is a characteristic detected in many cases of ZS. For management, the ultrasound offers a clear view of the kidneys, and the rest of the pelvic structures. Case presentation: We present a case of a 25 years old non-married male with a seminal vesicle lesion. The patient first complained of recurrent urinary tract infection and dysuria. After being assessed clinically and radiologically using several modalities, the patient ultimately decided to live with the condition without receiving any immediate treatment, but he will continue his follow up schedule. Conclusions: US imaging has the potential role to deliver an accurate diagnosis for this case and confirmed CT scan.
