Résumé

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. It would be important to correctly identify this anatomical variant, because the bundle connecting the external meniscus to the ligaments of the central pivot can be misinterpreted as a meniscal fragment.
