The purpose of this article is to provide a current review of the spectrum of CT and MRI findings seen in common congenital anomalies of the seminal vesicles. CONCLUSION. CT and MRI can both accurately show renal and seminal vesicle anomalies. Seminal vesicle anomalies often occur concurrently with renal and vasal defects. MRI is a better tool for accurately defining anatomic relationships when one is planning to excise a seminal vesicle cyst or if one is considering a difficult differential diagnosis. ongenital anomalies of the seminal C vesicles can be categorized into abnormalities of number (agenesis, fusion, duplication), maturation (hypoplastic), position (ectopia), and structure (diverticulum, cyst, communication with the ureter) [1]. In practice, agenesis and cystic anomalies are the most commonly encountered abnormalities. Upper urinary tract anomalies often coexist because of the close embryologic association of the male reproductive and urinary systems. lthough congenital anomalies of the seminal vesicles are rare, they are likely to be increasingly encountered because of the continued growth in the use of pelvic CT and MRI. The diagnosis of seminal vesicle anomalies is often delayed or missed as a result of both the rarity of these disorders and the wide spectrum of potentially confusing imaging findings they can produce. This article provides a current review of the spectrum of CT and MRI findings seen with common congenital anomalies of the seminal vesicles. genesis of the Seminal Vesicle Seminal vesicle agenesis does not occur as an isolated phenomenon (Fig. 1). It can be seen in two subsets of patients. In the first subset, an insult of unknown nature or genetic basis occurs to the mesonephric duct during embryogenesis. There is generally associated ipsilateral or bilateral agenesis or ectopia of the vas deferens [2 5]. If the insult occurs before 7 weeks of gestation (i.e., before ureteral budding), patients will have associated ipsilateral renal agenesis [2] (Fig. 1). In the second subset, bilateral or unilateral seminal vesicle agenesis is associated with corresponding agenesis of the vas deferens, the kidneys are normal, and there is an underlying mutation in the cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator gene CFTR. These patients are considered to have a primary genital form of cystic fibrosis [3, 6]. The agenesis is likely due to luminal blockade of the vas deferens and seminal vesicles by thick secretions; it probably occurs after 7 weeks of gestation. The major symptom associated with these conditions is infertility, although testicular spermatogenesis is intact. In a small fraction of patients, the ectopic vas deferens may insert into a müllerian duct remnant, which becomes dilated. Such cysts may cause symptoms such as hemospermia, epididymitis, perineal pain, and urinary tract infections. Congenital agenesis of the seminal vesicle is not surgically correctable and requires no treatment in the subgroup of unilateral seminal vesicle agenesis with a patent contralateral ductal system. In symptomatic patients, surgical options include vasoepididymostomy, transurethral resection of the ejaculatory duct, and microscopic epididymal, testicular, or vasal sperm aspiration [4]. Congenital Cystic nomalies of the Seminal Vesicle Congenital cysts of the seminal vesicle can be subcategorized as isolated cysts, cysts associated with upper urinary tract anomalies, and cysts associated with autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease. Cysts of the seminal vesicle usually become apparent dur- 130 JR:189, July 2007

Cysts are mostly smaller than 5 cm in diameter and are often discovered incidentally, but they may present with a wide variety of symptoms such as hematuria, hemospermia, epididymitis, prostatitis, infertility, and urinary tract infections [7 10]. Giant cysts may present with bowel or bladder obstruction [8]. Symptomatic cysts can be excised. Sometimes elective excision is performed when cysts are detected prenatally or at an early age to prevent future complications. seminal vesicle cyst can be seen on CT as a well-defined retrovesicular mass of water or near-water attenuation that arises from the seminal vesicle cephalic to the prostate gland [11] (Fig. 2). Reported findings have been variable, ranging from a cystic pelvic mass with a thick irregular wall to apparent enlargement of the ipsilateral seminal vesicle [9]. On MRI, seminal vesicle cysts are of variable signal intensity on T1-weighted images, are generally of fluid signal intensity on T2- weighted images, and are nonenhancing after IV gadolinium administration (Figs. 2 2D). Increased T1-weighted intensity is thought to reflect hemorrhage or an increased concentration of proteinaceous fluid [11]. Cysts of the seminal vesicle are associated with ipsilateral renal agenesis or dysplasia in two thirds of patients, presumably reflecting maldevelopment of the distal mesonephric duct and faulty ureteral budding (leading to renal agenesis or dysplasia) and atresia of the ejaculatory duct (leading to obstruction and cystic dilatation of the seminal vesicle) [10, 11]. In a sonographic screening study of the kidneys in 280,000 children in Taipei, the frequency of presumed seminal vesicle cysts with ipsilateral renal agenesis or dysplasia was % [12]. ilateral congenital cysts can be seen in patients with autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (Fig. 3). Cystic dilatation of the seminal vesicle may also occur along with ectopic ureteral insertion into the seminal vesicle, presumably due to ureteral budding occurring from the portion of the mesonephric duct destined to be the seminal vesicle [11] (Figs. 4 6). The ipsilateral kidney is frequently maldeveloped as well. oth CT and MRI can show the urinary tract anomalies well, but sometimes CT cannot show the opening of the ectopic ureter. MRI is better for showing the connection between the ectopic ureter and the seminal vesicles. Differential Diagnosis for Seminal Vesicle Cysts Congenital cysts and cystic dilatation of the seminal vesicles can be mimicked by several cysts and fluid-filled structures arising in neighboring organs. These include true cysts of the prostate gland, ejaculatory duct cysts, müllerian duct cysts, prostatic utricle cysts, hydronephrotic pelvic kidneys, bladder diverticula, and ureteroceles. It is important to be aware of and consider these differential diagnoses when assessing a possible seminal vesicle cyst. Differentiating features may include position (median, paramedian, or lateral), content, associations (renal agenesis or anomalies of the external genitalia), and imaging characteristics. Examples are shown in Figures Conclusion CT and MRI can both accurately show renal and seminal vesicle anomalies. Seminal vesicle anomalies often occur concurrently with defects of the kidney and vas deferens. MRI is a better tool for accurately defining anatomic relationships when one is planning to excise a seminal vesicle cyst or if one is considering a difficult differential diagnosis because of its multiplanar imaging capability, superior soft-tissue contrast, and lack of ionizing radiation. MRI may also help depict the opening of the associated ectopic ureter. Seminal vesicle agenesis is always associated with anomalies of the vas deferens. Ectopia of vas deferens can be confirmed only by invasive vasography [4]. Diagnostic imaging is usually not necessary for determining the absence of a vas deferens because a clinician can make the diagnosis by palpation, although absence can be confirmed by thinslice CT or MRI.

This study is helpful in confirming that periprostatic structure is due to dilated ejaculatory duct (arrow) upstream from obstruction of entrance of ejaculatory duct into prostatic urethra. Injection of contrast material under endorectal sonographic guidance both opacifies dilated obstructed duct and confirms that it is obstructed, because contrast material does not pass into prostatic urethra.
