The 17 pages that link to Meninges, each with the reason it gives.

• Cerebrospinal fluidNarrower topic: The fluid occupies spaces defined by these protective membranes.

• Central nervous systemRelated: Inflammation or infection of these protective coverings can threaten central nervous system function.

• Spinal cordRelated: These membranes enclose and protect the spinal cord.

• Lumbar punctureNarrower topic: The needle passes through meningeal layers to reach the cerebrospinal fluid.

• SkullRelated: They cushion and support the brain inside the skull’s protective enclosure.

• MeningitisBroader topic: These are the tissues whose inflammation defines meningitis.

• NeuroanatomyRelated: These protective layers are landmarks around the central nervous system.

• Spinal anesthesiaNarrower topic: The needle crosses the spinal meninges before medication enters cerebrospinal fluid.

• CraniumRelated: They line the cranium and cushion the brain beneath the bone.

• Subarachnoid hemorrhageNarrower topic: The hemorrhage is defined by its position among these membranes.

• Intracranial hemorrhageNarrower topic: Their layers define the spaces where several forms of hemorrhage accumulate.

• Bacterial meningitisBroader topic: These are the membranes inflamed in meningitis.

• Foramen magnumRelated: They pass through the opening with the brainstem and spinal cord.

• ScalpCompared with: These coverings protect the brain beneath the skull, not the outer surface covered by scalp.

• Cranial anatomyRelated: They line the cranial cavity and lie against the inner skull.

• MeningiomaNarrower topic: Meningiomas arise from cells associated with these membranes.

• Skull fractureRelated: A skull break can damage these layers and permit cerebrospinal fluid leakage.
