Azoospermia and segmentation abnormalities of the cervicothoracic spine lpar;'MURCS in the male'rpar;

摘要

The MURCS association is traditionally regarded as a disorder limited to the female sex. It has been hypothesized that men displaying the combination of azoospermia, segmentation abnormalities of the cervicothoracic spine and renal anomalies may have a male analogue of MURCS. Here we describe a patient with non-obstructive azoospermia and Klippel-Feil anomaly type II and suggest that this may represent another case of 'MURCS in the male'.
