Unilateral seminal vesicle agenesis associated with contralateral hypoplasia of seminal vesicle: A case report

Tek taraflı seminal vezikül yokluğu ile karşı taraf seminal vezikül hipoplazisi olan 42 yaşındaki bir erkek sunulmuştur. Hasta infertilite nedeniyle başvurdu. Fizik muayenesi normaldi. Semen analizi azoospermi ve 1ml�in altında semen volümü olduğunu gösterdi. Transrektal Ultrasonografi (TRUS), Bilgisayarlı Tomografi (BT) ve Manyetik Resonans Görüntüleme (MRI) ile sol seminal vezikül yokluğu ve sağ seminal vezikül hipoplazisi saptandı. TRUS bu tip anomalilerin ilk değerlendirmesinde iyi bir metod olabilir. Bununla birlikte, BT ve MRI, TRUS bulguları kesin değilse çekilmelidir. Hastaya çocuk sahibi olması için yardımcı üreme teknikleri önerildi.

Tek taraflı seminal vezikül agenezi ile karşı taraf seminal vezikül hipoplazisi birlikteliği: Bir olgu sunumu

A 42-year-old man with unilateral agenesis of seminal vesicle associated with contralateral hypoplasia of seminal vesicle is presented. The patient was referred for evaluation of infertility. Physical examination was normal. Semen analysis yielded azoospermia with low seminal volume of 1 mL. Transrectal ultrasonography (TRUS), Computed Tomography (CT) and Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) demonstrated absence of left seminal vesicle and hypoplastic right seminal vesicle. TRUS may be a good method for initial evaluation of these such anomalies. However, CT and MRI should be reserved for the cases whose TRUS results are not conclusive. Assisted reproductive techniques were recommended to the patient for children.
