Urethral-ejaculatory duct reflux (UER) and seminal vesicle reflux (SVR) are rare phenomena that are poorly characterized in the pediatric population. Timely diagnosis and intervention may prevent potential complications including orchitis, epididymitis, and infertility. We present a case of an infant with ipsilateral multicystic dysplastic kidney (MCDK) who was incidentally found to have UER/SVR during voiding cystourethrogram (VCUG), which we postulate resulted from posterior urethral valves (PUV). We highlight the similarities of UER/SVR with mimickers such as ecoptic ureter insertion and Zinner syndrome. We discuss sonographic techniques that can be used to differentiate these various entities.
