A Rare Cause of Chronic Pelvic Pain in Young Man: Magnetic Resonance Imaging Findings of Zinner’s Syndrome
Chronic pelvic pain is more uncommon in men than in women, and it is often thought to be due to problems with the urogenital system. The maldevelopment of the urogenital system is a rare condition, and frequently detected incidentally. Zinner’s syndrome is a rare urogenital system development anomal...

| description | Chronic pelvic pain is more uncommon in men than in women, and it is often thought to be due to problems with the urogenital system. The maldevelopment of the urogenital system is a rare condition, and frequently detected incidentally. Zinner’s syndrome is a rare urogenital system development anomaly comprising a triad of unilateral renal agenesis, ipsilateral seminal vesicle cyst, and ejaculatory duct obstruction. Patients with this anomaly are often asymptomatic until the second or third decade of life. Some patients present with non-specific symptoms, such as prostatism, frequent micturition, recurrent urinary tract infections, painful ejaculation, and chronic pelvic pain. Here, we present the magnetic resonance imaging findings in a 27-year-old patient who had experienced pelvic pain for two years and was diagnosed with Zinner’s syndrome in our clinic. |
