This study reports the first symptomatic case of a rare, ring-shaped lateral meniscus in a child, associated with a recurrent cyst. This finding highlights a previously asymptomatic congenital abnormality presenting with symptoms in pediatric patients.

Area of Science:

  • Orthopedic Surgery
  • Pediatric Orthopedics
  • Human Anatomy

Background:

  • Discoid lateral meniscus is a congenital anomaly.
  • Watanabe's atlas describes three types of discoid menisci.
  • A fourth, ring-shaped type has been rarely reported as an incidental finding.

Observation:

  • The case presents a symptomatic, ring-shaped lateral meniscus in a child.
  • A recurrent cyst was observed at the lateral aspect of the knee.
  • This is the first reported symptomatic case of this specific meniscus type in a pediatric patient.

Findings:

  • The ring-shaped lateral meniscus, previously considered incidental, can cause symptoms in children.
  • Concomitant lateral cysts may occur with this rare meniscus anomaly.

  • This case expands the understanding of symptomatic discoid meniscus presentations.

    • Implications:

    • Highlights the importance of considering rare meniscus abnormalities in pediatric knee pain.
    • Suggests further investigation into the symptomatic potential of ring-shaped lateral menisci.
    • Informs orthopedic surgeons about a rare cause of pediatric knee pathology and associated cysts.
