2 Learning objectives The aims of this educational exhibit are: 1. To discuss the anatomy and imaging features of the menisci. 2. To review pitfalls in meniscal imaging and perimeniscal structures, that may be confused with pathological findings, in order to diminish reporting errors. Background The knee is the most imaged joint at magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Technological advances allows progressive improvements in the depiction of anatomical details and in the diagnosis of meniscal lesions. Unfortunately, there are many anatomical variations and some of them may be mistaken for pathological conditions. Recognizing meniscal anatomic variants is, therefore, essential to avoid potential interpretation pitfalls. This poster reviews anatomic variants of size and shape of the menisci and also meniscoligamentous structures that may potentially be confused with pathological findings. Findings and procedure details RELEVANT NORMAL ANATOMY AND MRI APPEARANCE The menisci of the knee are crescent-shaped fibrocartilaginous structures that are interposed between the articular surfaces of the distal femur and the proximal tibia. The menisci are thick peripherally and taper centrally to a thin free edge, therefore appearing triangular in shape in coronal and sagittal MRI. The medial meniscus is semilunar in shape and larger than the more circular C-shaped lateral meniscus. On sagittal images, the anterior and posterior horns of the lateral meniscus are nearly equal in size, whereas the posterior horn of the medial meniscus is nearly twice the size of the anterior horn Fig. 1 on page 5. The entire periphery of the medial meniscus is firmly attached to the joint capsule and deep fibers of the tibial collateral ligament at the level of the mid-body; in contrast, the lateral meniscus is more mobile, with its anterior horn and body of the lateral attached to Page 2 of 19
3 the joint capsule, but with separation of the posterior horn from the capsule, connected to it via superior and inferior popliteomeniscal fascicles (popliteal hiatus) Fig. 2 on page 5 Fig. 3 on page 6. Because of its fibrocartilaginous composition, the normal menisci demonstrate low signal intensity on all MRI pulse sequences, with the exception of children and young adults, which can present non-surfacing intrameniscal signal that corresponds to prominent or persistent meniscal vascularity. DISCOID MENISCUS A discoid meniscus is an abnormally tall and elongated meniscus covering more than 50% of the weight bearing aspect of the femoral condyle or with a transverse width of 14 mm in the mid portion of its body [1] [2] Fig. 4 on page 7. In the sagittal plane, the meniscus is seen with a continuous connection between the anterior and posterior horns, in more than three consecutive images. It affects more commonly the lateral meniscus. Their abnormal morphology predisposes them to increased stress, thus resulting in higher incidence of lesions. RING MENISCUS A ring meniscus variant is similar to a thin membranous discoid meniscus in which the central membrane is deficient and the anterior and posterior horns are connected by an inner bridge Fig. 5 on page 7. This can be misinterpreted for a centrally displaced bucket-handle tear Fig. 6 on page 8, but the triangular shape of the central inner horn component should prompt this diagnosis [3]. SPECKLED ANTERIOR HORN The anterior horn of the lateral meniscus has fibers of the ACL that extend into it at the anterior root where it attaches to the tibial plateau centrally. Variability in the interweaving of fibers of the ACL with those of the anterior horn at the tibial insertion of the ACL may determine a spotty hyperintense signal within the anterior horn of the lateral meniscus on T2WI and PDWI on the two most central images of the meniscus, simulating a lesion Fig. 7 on page 9. MENISCAL FLOUNCE Meniscal flounce is commonly observed within the medial meniscus [3]. It is thought to be related to transient physiologic distortion that produces a wavy contour along the inner edge of a meniscus Fig. 8 on page 9, which can be mistaken for a radial tear on coronal images because of apparent truncation of the inner edge of the meniscus determined by partial-volume effects [2]. Page 3 of 19
4 MENISCAL OSSICLE They are rare and comprise foci of intrameniscal ossification, usually within the posterior horn of the medial meniscus, thought to be developmental in origin, although some may be related to dystrophic calcifications following trauma [2]. Meniscal ossicles can be identified as a focal lesion surrounded by the meniscus, with signal intensity that parallels that of marrow fat Fig. 9 on page 10. The differential diagnosis should be made with osteochondral loose bodies. TRANSVERSE MENISCAL LIGAMENT Anterior horns of the menisci are connected to each other by the transverse meniscal ligament in up to 58% of patients [4], and the attachment site of this ligament on the meniscus can sometimes mimic a meniscal tear, as it runs parallel to the anterior horn the lateral meniscus for a short distance, before inserting into it [2] Fig. 10 on page 11. Sagittal imaging at this level can, therefore, mislead the reader to diagnose a meniscal tear. This can be avoided by characterizing the course of this linear structure of hypointense signal on several sequential sagittal images Fig. 11 on page 11. MENISCOFEMORAL LIGAMENT They are anatomically inconstant structures that run from the posterior horn of the lateral meniscus to the lateral aspect of the medial femoral condyle or to the posterior cruciate ligament [5]. If anterior to the PCL, it is called Humphrey ligament, and if it lies posterior to it, Wrisberg ligament. On sagittal images it is seen as a hypointense oval structure anterior or posterior to the PCL Fig. 12 on page 12. On coronal images it is characterized as an oblique band with hypo-intense signal in the posterior aspect of the intercondylar notch Fig. 13 on page 13. If prominent, a Humphrey ligament may be misinterpreted as a bucket handle tear Fig. 14 on page 13. They also can mimic a tear at their attachment site to the central aspect of the posterior horn of the lateral meniscus. Tears at the junction of the meniscofemoral ligament and the posterior horn are called "Wrisberg rip" Fig. 15 on page 14, and are typically associated with ACL tears and rotational biomechanics implicated in such lesion. ANTEROMEDIAL MENISCOFEMORAL LIGAMENT This rare accessory ligament extends from the anterior horn of the medial meniscus, distinctly covering all length of the anterior cruciate ligament, to insert into the medial wall of the lateral femoral condyle, next to the ACL insertion Fig. 16 on page 15 Fig. 17 on page 15. OBLIQUE MENISCOMENISCAL LIGAMENT Page 4 of 19
5 This uncommon (2-4% of patients) [5] intermeniscal ligament connects the posterior horn of one meniscus to the anterior horn of the contralateral meniscus Fig. 18 on page 16. Both medial and lateral oblique meniscomeniscal ligament exist and are named according to their anterior meniscal origin [1]. Its importance lies in the fact that it might be mistaken for a bucket handle tear or a displaced meniscal flap, especially on sagittal images, as it crosses the intercondylar incisure intermingled with the cruciate ligaments. Its trajectory can be traced throughout its entire course on coronal and/or axial images to differentiate it from a true lesion.
