The mass appeared either extradural or intradural-extramedullary and caused mild spinal cord compression. The mass exhibited contrast-enhancement, appeared continuous with the dura mater, and was ...

The MRI revealed pools of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF), the clear fluid that typically surrounds the brain and spinal cord; the CSF had likely leaked from a tear in the dura mater that occurred ...

This protective structure, comprising the dura mater, arachnoid mater, and pia mater, serves as a vital barrier for the delicate brain and spinal cord. When these membranes become inflamed, meningitis ...

When a person sustains an injury to the spinal cord, the normal communication between the brain and the spinal circuits below the injury are interrupted, resulting in paralysis. Because the brain ...

Together, the pia mater and the arachnoid mater form the leptomeninges, which are considerably thinner than the dura and cover the brain and spinal cord’s surface (1, 34).

After a spinal cord injury, nearby cells quickly rush to action, forming protective scar tissue around the damaged area to stabilize and protect it. But over time, too much scarring can prevent nerves ...

Patients requiring surgery to repair the brain and spinal cord may experience better results due to new research at the Wexner Medical Center. Researchers recently developed a more durable way to ...

A new study reveals a direct connection between the brain and its dura mater, challenging previous beliefs about the brain's isolation.

Nurami Medical develops patches and sealants based on nanofibers – tiny strands of material – to help patients recover better after surgery. Its first product is made for brain surgery intended to ...
