... then appeared in the thoracic spinal cord, and the patient developed paraparesis despite continuation of chemotherapy. Spinal magnetic resonance imaging demonstrated multiple ring-enhanced lesions in the cord on the T1-weighted image; on the T2-weighted image, the lesions had a bright core surrounded...

.... Intrathoracic meningoceles are often asymptomatic and diagnosed incidentally during the evaluation of an unrelated pathology. A patient with a spinal intradural arachnoid cyst may present with paraparesis mimicking an intradural tumor, and lateral intrathoracic meningocele may seldom accompany this lesion...
