Case: A ring-shaped meniscus (RSM) is a rare malformation of debatable origin usually occurring on the lateral meniscus. Here, we present 2 cases of RSM with differing etiologies and discuss the current literature on the topic. These reports may help with the identification of RSMs in the future and assist in understanding the true etiopathogenesis of individual cases.
Conclusion: These 2 cases exemplify the variation in presentations of ring-shaped menisci and their radiological features on both x-ray and magnetic resonance imaging. This reinforces the idea that there may be both a congenital and an iatrogenic etiology to this rare condition.

A 24-year-old male patient complained of mild knee pain after jogging. The subsequent knee MRI demonstrated bilateral lateral thickened tibiofemoral cartilages, evidenced by deformities of the bilateral subchondral bone beneath the lateral femoral condyle cartilage. The corresponding dislocations of almost all the left lateral meniscus and part of the right lateral meniscus to the center of the joint were detected.

Many anatomical variations have been described in the menisci, especially in the lateral meniscus. Among these, discoid meniscus is the most common variation. Others are described in the literature as double-layered meniscus, accessory meniscus, ring-shaped meniscus, and hypoplastic meniscus.

Menisci congenital anomalies are rare morphologic abnormalities including accessory meniscus, discoid meniscus, double-layered meniscus, hypoplastic meniscus and ring-shaped meniscus (RSM). In a 35 year-old male patient, MR arthrography showed a bridging accessory bundle connecting the anterior cruciate ligament and posterior cruciate ligament with the posterior horn of the lateral meniscus. Arthroscopic examination showed a fan-like obstacle embracing the posterior horn of the lateral meniscus.
