Medial parameniscal cyst: axial (a) and coronal (b) fat saturated proton density weighted image demonstrating a parameniscal cyst (asterisk) anterior to the MCL (white arrow) arising from a complex tear of the body of medial meniscus (black arrow). Anterolateral parameniscal cyst: the sagittal (c) fat saturated proton density weighted image shows a parameniscal cyst (small white arrow) extending anteriorly within the Hoffa’s fat pad and continuity with a horizontal tear of the body of the lateral meniscus is noted (black arrow). Lateral parameniscal cyst: axial (d) and two sequential coronal (e and f) fat saturated proton density weighted images demonstrate a parameniscal cyst (asterisk) deep to iliotibial tract (thick white arrows) communicating with a lateral meniscal horizontal tear (black arrows)
