Endoscopic management of seminal-vesical cyst with right renal agenesis causing acute urinary retention: Case report.

Seminal-vesicle cysts associated with renal agenesis are rare congenital or acquired lesions. We report a case of seminal-vesicle cyst causing urinary retention in a young patient with right renal agenesis who was treated successfully with transurethral unroofing. Magnetic resonance imaging aided us in making the conclusive diagnosis without the need for any invasive investigations.
