Popis: Zinner Syndrome (ZS) is a rare congenital genitourinary abnormality defined by seminal vesicle cysts, ejaculatory duct obstruction, and unilateral renal dysplasia or agenesis. Patients can be asymptomatic, while others experience pain, urinary or ejaculatory symptoms and infertility. A patient that presented with painless gross hematuria was found to have a large pelvic cystic structure, an absent left kidney, multiple fluid collections in the region of the left seminal vesicle and right hydronephrosis. Hydronephrosis is atypical in ZS. This patient eventually developed right flank and pelvic pain treated with robotic-assisted laparoscopic excision of the pelvic cystic structure and extravesical ureteral reimplantation.
