Abstract
Zinner syndrome is a rare anomaly of the urogenital tract. The syndrome is related to delay in the embryogenesis of the ureteric buds and is associated with unilateral renal absence, cyst formation in the seminal vesicles, and ipsilateral obstruction of the ejaculatory.
Learning points: Zinner syndrome is a rare syndrome with delayed embryogenesis of the ureteric buds.Three features are typically present, absence of one kidney, cyst formation of the seminal vesicles, and ejaculatory duct obstruction at the same side.
期刊介绍:
The European Journal of Case Reports in Internal Medicine is an official journal of the European Federation of Internal Medicine (EFIM), representing 35 national societies from 33 European countries. The Journal''s mission is to promote the best medical practice and innovation in the field of acute and general medicine. It also provides a forum for internal medicine doctors where they can share new approaches with the aim of improving diagnostic and clinical skills in this field. EJCRIM welcomes high-quality case reports describing unusual or complex cases that an internist may encounter in everyday practice. The cases should either demonstrate the appropriateness of a diagnostic/therapeutic approach, describe a new procedure or maneuver, or show unusual manifestations of a disease or unexpected reactions. The Journal only accepts and publishes those case reports whose learning points provide new insight and/or contribute to advancing medical knowledge both in terms of diagnostics and therapeutic approaches. Case reports of medical errors, therefore, are also welcome as long as they provide innovative measures on how to prevent them in the current practice (Instructive Errors). The Journal may also consider brief and reasoned reports on issues relevant to the practice of Internal Medicine, as well as Abstracts submitted to the scientific meetings of acknowledged medical societies.
