The role of transrectal ultrasonography in the elucidation and treatment of an unusual case of azoospermia.
We report a case of male infertility with low ejaculate volume and azoospermia. An infected seminal vesicle cyst that induced partial obstruction of the seminal duct system was diagnosed by transrectal ultrasound. After transrectal cystic aspiration and decompression, a normal spermogram was obtained.
