A case of triple vas deferens complaining of infertility: A challenging case report

Abstract

There are multiple congenital structural abnormalities that affect male urogenital tract which could affect either the male external genitalia, internal genitalia or both. Congenital anomalies of the vas deferens may be unilateral or bilateral that could be complete or segmental and include (agenesis, atresia, duplication, ectopy or diverticulum). Anomalies of the vas deferens may be isolated or may be associated with other congenital anomalies especially in the male urogenital tract. These rare vas anomalies may be discovered during genital examination (either clinically or radiologically) or even accidentally during inguinal surgeries as in varicocelectomy, hernia repair, vasectomy or orchiopexy. We hereby reported the first case of triple vas deferens in a 35-year-old male that was felt on spermatic cord examination and confirmed by trans-rectal ultrasonography. Thus, proper evaluation should be made for the cases of multiple vas deferens to avoid the accidental injury during the operation and to exclude other associated congenital anomalies.
