Info

Discoid lateral meniscus.

Horizontal high T2 intrasubstance signal at the posterior horn of medial meniscus not reaching the articular surface, reflecting grade II meniscal degeneration.

Case Discussion

In this case, meniscal degeneration was more advanced in the medial posterior horn than in the rather incidentally found lateral discoid meniscus.
