A rare case of Zinner syndrome: Triad of unilateral renal agenesis, ipsilateral seminal vesicle cyst and ejaculatory duct obstruction

A rare triad of Wolffian duct anomaly known as Zinner syndrome includes unilateral renal agenesis with ipsilateral seminal vesicle cyst and ejaculatory duct obstruction. It is often diagnosed in third and fourth decades of life. Patient presents with dysuria, perineal pain, infertility and painful e...
