Zinner’s syndrome (SC) is a rare congenital disease characterized by ejaculatory duct obstruction, seminal vesicle cyst in combination with ipsilateral renal agenesis. This syndrome is due to development arrest of the Wolffian duct (mesonephros). Before the onset of sexual activity, the disease is asymptomatic. The main symptoms are nonspecific, including dysuria, urinary frequency, perineal and scrotal pain after ejaculation.
