ABSTRACT
Renal atrophy with an ectopic drainage of the ureter is an uncommon malformation. Zinder described in 1914 a cystic dilation of the seminal vesicle in association with an ipsilateral renal agenesis. Usually, these patients present lower urinary tract symptoms with perineal discomfort and fever. The most accurate diagnosis is given by the MRI, while CT and ultrasonography are less precise. We present a case of a patient who goes into hospital because of left lumbar pain and urinary sepsis data, whose CT detects an ectopic drainage of the left uereter in the seminal vesicle. He underwent a successful laparoscopic surgical treatment.

La atrofia renal con abocamiento ectópico del uréter es una malformación poco frecuente. Zinder describe en 1914 la asociación de una dilatación quística de la vesícula seminal con agenesia renal ipsilateral. Con mayor frecuencia estos pacientes presentan síntomas del tracto urinario inferior con molestias perineales y fiebre. El diagnostico más certero lo aporta la RMN siendo la ecografía y la TAC menos precisas. Presentamos un caso de un paciente que ingresa por dolor lumbar izquierdo y datos de sepsis de origen urinario que en la TAC se detecta una desembocadura ectópica del uréter izquierdo en vesícula seminal. El tratamiento se realizó con éxito mediante cirugía laparoscópica (AU)
