Abstract

Introduction: Agenesia of the seminal vesicle is an uncommon cause of the male infertility. While unilateral agenesia of seminal vesicle is observed in 0.6-1% of male population, bilateral agenesia is extremely rare. These malformations may be associated with unilateral or bilateral agenesia of the vas deferens or unilateral renal agenesia. 70-80% of the cases with bilateral agenesia of the seminal vesicle have gene mutations related to cystic fibrosis. In his article we presented the ultrasonographic and magnetic resonance imaging findings of bilateral agenesia of the seminal vesicle and unilateral renal agenesia in primary infertile case who has not cystic fibrosis. Materials and Methods: Pelvic magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and abdominal ultrasonography was utilized in 29 years old male patient with primary infertility. Results: Bilateral seminal vesicle agenesis was found in MRI. In spermiogram, neither live nor dead spermium was detected. Abdominal ultrasonography was yielded as unilateral renal agenesis and contralateral compensatris hypertrophy consecutively on left and right sides. Conclusion: Pelvic and transrectal ultrasonography gives valuable data on investigation of the etiology of primary infertility. Pelvic MRI is important to distinguish the hypoplasia and the agenesis of the seminal vesicle.

Özet

Seminal vezikül agenezisi erkeklerde ender infertilite sebeplerinden biridir. Seminal vezikülün tek taraflı yokluğu %0.6-1 sıklıkla izlenirken, iki taraflı yokluğu çok daha enderdir. Bu malformasyonlar tek/ iki taraflı vas deferens yokluğu ya da tek taraflı böbrek bozukluklarına eşlik edebilir. İki taraflı seminal vezikül agenezisi olan olguların %70-80’inde kistik fibrozisle ilgili genetik mutasyonlar bulunmaktadır. Bu çalışmada kistik fibrozis saptanmayan primer infertil olguda iki taraflı seminal vezikül agenezisi ve tek taraflı böbrek agenezinin ultrasonografi ve manyetik rezonans görüntüleme (MRG) bulguları sunulmuştur. 29 yaşında erkek olgu primer infertilite tanısı sonrası pelvik MRG ve olası böbrek patolojisine yönelik batın ultrasonografi ile incelendi. Hastanın spermiyogramında canlı ya da ölü sperm hücresi saptanmamış olup, yapılan MRG incelemede seminal veziküllerin iki taraflı olmadığı izlendi. Olgunun ultrasonografik incelemesinde sol böbrek agenezisi ve sağ böbrekte kompanzatuvar hipertrofi saptandı. Primer infertilite etiyolojisinin araştırılmasında pelvik ve transrektal ultrason değerli olup, bu etiyolojide yer alan doğumsal malformasyonlardan biri olan seminal veziküllerin hipoplazi ve agenezilerinin ayrımında pelvik MRG önemli bilgiler sağlar.
