Zinner's syndrome (ZS), an association of a cyst of seminal vesicles in combination with ipsilateral agenesis of the kidney, is an extremely rare congenital malformation. We present a case report of a six-year-old patient with ZS. Magnetic resonance (MR) examination of the abdomen and pelvis confirmed renal agenesis and elucidated the cystic dilatation of the ipsilateral seminal vesicle, which compressed and dislocated the bladder. Due to the huge size of the cyst, surgical excision was recommended.
Keywords: seminal vesicle, cyst, ipsilateral renal agenesis, Zinner´s syndrome, child.
