Zinner syndrome (ZS) is a rare anomaly of the genitourinary system, characterized by a triad of symptoms: seminal vesicle cyst, ipsilateral renal aplasia, and obstruction of the vas deferens. This pathology often leads to such a complication as male infertility. The non-specificity of the symptoms dictates the difficulties in the diagnostic search and diagnosis. To date, there is no clear algorithm for managing patients with this syndrome: both conservative and surgical treatment methods can be used. The article demonstrates a clinical case of asymptomatic ZS in a 14-year-old child.
