title: Renal agenesis, ureteral ectopia into seminal vesicle, vas deferens agenesis and hemivertebra: an incomplete form of caudal regression syndrome?
abstract: The association of seminal vesicle cyst and upper urinary tract malformation is well known in the literature [1]. More rarely, urogenital malformations are associated with vertebral [2] or anorectal anomalies [3]. A 35-year-old infertile man with unilateral renal and deferential agenesis, seminal vesicle cyst and hemivertebra is reported. This complex malformative syndrome has been reported previously by Sheih et al. [4] and, to our knowledge, this is the third case described in the literature.
