Zinner syndrome(ZS) and Herlyn-Werner-Wunderlich syndrome (HWWS) are congenital genitourinary anomalies accompanied by ipsilateral renal agenesis. These syndromes, which can cause symptoms such as infertility, pelvic pain, and bladder irritation, can be diagnosed by digital rectal examination, transrectal and abdominal ultrasonography(US), Computer Tomography(CT) and more ideally Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Similar physiopathological processes are observed in both syndromes and urogenital malformations accompany renal agenesis. We aimed to discuss the three cases of ZS in men and two HWWS cases in women, which are rarely observed in the literature.
