An Isolated Spinal Meningocele Discovered Fortuitously on a CT Scan: Case Report

Abstract

Bouchentouf R, Benjelloun A and Yasser Z

A spinal meningocele is a saccular protrusion of the meninges through a dilated intervertebral foramen or a bony defect of the vertebral column. Intrathoracic meningocele is a rare condition. Only a few cases were related in the literature. It is usually associated with neurofibromatosis type 1. Isolated intrathoracic meningoceles without neurofibromatosis are more uncommon. We report a case of isolated paraspinal meningocele in a 54 old-year-man, for whom the diagnosis was established by computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging features.
