Abstract

The seminal vesicle cyst associated with agenesis of the kidney and homolateral ureter is a rare defect known as Zinner syndrome. We report a case of a 41-years-old patient with symptoms of lower abdominal pain associated with hemospermia. Within our radiology department, he underwent an ultrasound exam, CT scan and then an MRI which revealed Zinners syndrome on the left side. The objective of our work is to analyze the interest of each means of imaging in the diagnosis of Zinner syndrome.
