The thoracic nerves are the twelve spinal nerves emerging from the thoracic vertebrae. Branches also exit the spine and go directly to the paravertebral ganglia of the autonomic nervous system where they are involved in the functions of organs and glands in the head, neck, thorax and abdomen.

Anterior divisions

The intercostal nerves come from thoracic nerves T1-T11, and run between the ribs ("costae"). At T2 and T3, it further branches into the intercostobrachial nerve.

The subcostal nerve comes from nerve T12, and runs below the twelfth rib.

Posterior divisions

The medial branches (ramus medialis; internal branch) of the posterior divisions of the upper six thoracic nerves run between the Semispinalis dorsi and Multifidus, which they supply; they then pierce the Rhomboidei and Trapezius, and reach the skin by the sides of the spinous processes. This sensitive branch is called medial cutaneous ramus.

The medial branches of the lower six are distributed chiefly to the Multifidus and Longissimus dorsi, occasionally they give off filaments to the skin near the middle line. This sensitive branch is called posterior cutaneous ramus.

Neurofibromatosis 1 (NF1) is a neurocutaneous syndrome that can be inherited as autosomal dominant or may appear due to a de novo mutation. We present 8 patients (5 M and 3 F) with sporadic or non-familial spinal neurofibromatosis 1 (non-FSNF1) associated with bilateral spinal neurofibromas involvin
