Abstract

The authors report two cases of cyst of the medial meniscus. In both cases imaging diagnostics, CT scan, or MRI allowed us to reveal the characteristic horizontal meniscal lesion that would be the primary cause of cystic degeneration of the meniscus. The two cases were treated by selective resection of the meniscal lesion and arthroscopic decompression of the cyst.
