Abstract:
Congenital anomaly of the vas deferens is often easily diagnosed by careful examination of the scrotum as well as by present popularity of vasectomy. By the fact that both systems originate from a common urogenital ridge of mesoderm, anomaly of the kidney has long been recognized to coexist with anomaly of the vas deferens. So, inability to palpate the vas deferens in routine examination or absence of vas deferens in vasectomy should alert the physician to study the patient for associated renal anomaly. We report one case of vas anomaly associated with ipsilateral renal hypoplasia with the brief review of literatures.
