Pattern example
Tenhou.net example Open

Ryanmenten 「両面」 is a wait pattern, that is actually a combination of two ryanmen (open wait), that are adjacent to each other. This pattern is best noticeable, when there are five consecutive numbered tiles in the hand.

Tile pattern

Waiting for: - or

Fu

Just like ryanmen, this tile pattern does not reward any fu.

Strategy

Ryanmenten is a powerful wait due to the large number of waiting tiles: 11 maximum possible. That number cannot be 12, due to one waiting tile (the middle number) already present in the hand. With suji, the waiting pattern involves one of the three mahjong intervals.
