Abstract: We present a case of a male infant with right renal agenesis associated with an ipsilateral cystic abnormality
of the seminal vesicle, also known as Zinner’s syndrome. The infant presented with renal agenesis
antenatally at the 20-week gestation anomaly scan, with the cystic seminal vesicle being identified
postnatally. We suggest, therefore, that the absent kidney in Zinner’s syndrome is a true congenital
abnormality rather than a postnatal involution of a dysplastic kidney as has been previously argued by some
[1].
The cystic seminal vesicle in our case was successfully treated with minimally invasive surgery in infancy,
thus preventing the various morbidities with which this syndrome more usually presents in adulthood.Keywords: Renal agenesis, seminal vesicle cyst, Zinner’s syndrome
