Abstract:
Most discoid menisci are lateral and medial discoid meniscus is very rare. Several articles have reported on bilateral lateral discoid menisci as well as bilateral medial discoid menisci, and a few articles have reported simultaneous medial and lateral discoid menisci in the same knee. Only one case of simultaneous medial and lateral discoid menisci, bilaterally, has been reported. We present another case of a male patient with bilaterally simultaneous medial and lateral discoid menisci, diagnosed with magnetic resonance imaging and arthroscopy. The patient was treated by arthroscopic partial meniscetomy.
