title: [Seminal vesicular agenesis, non-invasive diagnosis. Presentation of a case and review of the literature].
abstract: We report on a case of unilateral agenesia, a rare disorder, in a patient with children who consulted for unspecific discomfort. The patient had previously undergone vasectomy. During the procedure however, the ipsilateral deferent duct could not be localized. The foregoing led us to suspect this disorder. A review of the scant literature available on this condition reflect how uncommon it is, particularly in fertile subjects. Moreover, the literature shows that invasive diagnostic methods (deferent-vesiculography, puncture, etc.) have been replaced by ultrasound and computerized axial tomography.
