Imaging features and differential diagnosis of Zinner's syndrome: what radiologists should know

Zinner's syndrome is a rare congenital urogenital abnormality. Since this disease is rare, knowledge about its imaging manifestations by clinical surgeons and radiologists is inadequate. In this study, data of 11 cases of Zinner's syndrome were retrospectively analyzed, and their morphological characteristics on imaging changes were investigated, aiming to improve the knowledge and differential diagnosis of this disease. The relevant images of Zinner's syndrome show characteristic manifestations, so the seminal vesicle cysts and isolateral kidney development must be carefully observed. Comprehensive judgement should be made according to urogenital mutation or deformity and systemic development situation.
