Spontaneous Pregnancy After Surgical Correction of a Prostatic Utricle Cyst and Recurrent Varicocele: A Case Report
By Ribeiro CBH, Ortiz LFL, Rezende JR and 3 others.
Abstract
Background
Prostatic utricle cysts are rare congenital anomalies arising from incomplete regression of the Müllerian ducts that may cause partial or complete ejaculatory duct obstruction, leading to hypospermia, abnormal semen parameters and even azoospermia in severe cases. Recurrent varicocele after previous surgical repair represents an additional challenge in the management of male infertility. Here, we report a case of spontaneous pregnancy achieved after combined surgical correction of a prostatic utricle cyst and recurrent left-sided varicocele in a couple not yet meeting the formal 12-month criteria for infertility, illustrating the diagnostic and therapeutic considerations relevant to this clinical scenario.
