[A case of lateral thoracic meningocele without neurofibromatosis].
A case of lateral thoracic meningocele without neurofibromatosis is reported. CT-myelography revealed the mass has the communication with CSF space. So we could differentiate it from a posterior mediastinal tumor. It is important to think of the presence of lateral thoracic meningocele when any posterior mediastinal mass is detected.
