A case of intrathoracic meningocele is reported, and 95 cases from the literature are reviewed. Thoracic meningoceles are usually associated with neurofibromatosis; nevertheless their etiology remains controversial. The authors postulate the role of spinal trauma in some patients and the origin of the meningocele from an abnormal prolongation of a nerve sleeve in nontraumatic cases. Thoracic meningoceles often are asymptomatic or produce radicular intercostal pain. Spinal computed tomography is the most useful investigation, particularly in the exploration of large meningoceles. Surgery is required in symptomatic cases and usually results in remission of the pain.
