| Abstract: | A case of an intrathoracic meningocele associated with vertebral scalloping, enlarged intervertebral foramina and scoliosis in neurofibromatosis without spinal or nerve root rumors is described. A markedly attenuated dura mater anteriorly was present at autopsy and may have predisposed to meningeal herniation and scalloping. |
