Core Tip	Congenital absence of the menisci is a rare anatomical variation characterized by the absence or underdevelopment of one or both menisci in the knee joint. We present a young male patient with a long-standing history of knee pain who underwent diagnostic arthroscopy, revealing the congenital absence of the lateral meniscus. The patient's clinical findings, imaging results, and surgical procedure are presented, along with relevant images. This case is notable for the congenital absence of the meniscus, a finding that contributes to the literature on such rare anomalies.
