          Abstract

          Resumen El síndrome de Zinner se caracteriza por ser una patología de origen congénito en la cual se observa una ausencia unilateral del riñón, presencia de quistes y obstrucción en los conductos eyaculatorios. Al ser diagnosticada en la etapa de actividad sexual de los pacientes, puede causar problemas en la sexualidad o en la reproductividad de la persona. Este trabajo tuvo como objetivo realizar una revisión sistemática de casos clínicos reportados en la literatura entre el año 2013 a 2023. Se evaluaron 42 reportes de casos clínicos con dicho síndrome, con un total de 49 pacientes con una media de edad de 22.5 años, el 77.55 % de los pacientes presentaron quistes, ausencia del riñón derecho en el 44.90% de los pacientes, y el 91.84 % presentaron dolor. El tratamiento más común para esta patología es la laparoscopia (16.33 %) y en los casos revisados no se presentaron complicaciones ni decesos. El identificar las diferentes presentaciones de este síndrome podría mejorar la rapidez del diagnóstico, y garantizar un manejo efectivo, mejorando con ello la calidad de vida de los pacientes.

          Abstract Zinner syndrome is characterized as a pathology of congenital origin in which there is a unilateral absence of the kidney, presence of cysts and obstruction in the ejaculatory ducts. Being diagnosed in the stage of sexual activity of patients, it can cause problems in the person's sexuality or reproduction. The objective of this work was to carry out a systematic review of clinical cases reported in the literature between 2013 and 2023. 42 reports of clinical cases with Zinner syndrome were evaluated, with a total of 49 patients with a mean age of 22.5 years, the 77.55 % of the patients presented cysts, absence of the right kidney in 44.90 % of the patients, and 91.84 % presented pain. The most common treatment for this pathology was laparoscopy (16.33 %) and in the reviewed cases there were no complications or deaths. Identifying the different presentations of this syndrome could improve the speed of diagnosis and guarantee effective management, thereby improving the quality of life of patients.

          Zinner syndrome—a rare developmental anomaly of the mesonephric duct diagnosed on magnetic resonance imaging

          Developmental anomalies of the urogenital tract are rare but often encountered. Zinner's syndrome is a rare congenital abnormality of mesonephric (Wolffian) duct consisting of unilateral renal agenesis, ipsilateral seminal vesicle cyst, and ipsilateral ejaculatory duct obstruction due to developmental arrest in early embryogenesis affecting the caudal end of Mullerian duct and only approximately a 100 cases have been reported so far. Radiologic modalities such as intravenous pyelography, ultrasonography, vasovesiculography, contrast enhanced computed tomography, and magnetic resonance imaging are all helpful in diagnosis of this unusual entity. We present here an extremely rare developmental anomaly involving the Mullerian ducts, which would remain undiagnosed but for radiologic imaging. The patient presented with symptoms of lower urinary tract irritation.
