Introduction Types of membrane Location Structure Blood supply Venous drainage Nerve fibres Applied anatomy

sellar diaphragm

Showing THE

endosteal layer ceases at the foramen magnum, its place being taken by the periosteum lining the vertebral canal

Pia Mater
It is the meningeal envelope that firmly adheres to the surface of the brain and the spinal cord.it is composed of fibrous tissue and its outer surface is covered by flat cells

Arachnoid mater
it is separated by the subarachnoid space.it does not line the brain into the sulci.the arachnoid & dura mater lie close together throughout the cranium but later fuse into one layer at level of S2

subarachnoid space
It is the space between the arachnoid membrane and the pia mater.it is occupied by spongy tissue

Dura folds & reflection

1)Tentorium cerebelli :separates the cerebellum & and the brainstem from the occipital lobe of the cerebrum 2)Falx cerebri : seperates the two hemispheres of the brain 3)Falx cerebelli : partially seperates the cerebral hemisphere 4)Sellar diaphragm : smallest dura infolding.it covers the pituitary gland at the hypophysial fossa

Venous Drainage
Name Inferior sagittal sinus Drains to Straight sinus

Typically becomes right transverse Superior sagittal sinus sinus or confluence of sinuses Superior petrosal sinus Occipital sinus transverse sinuses Confluence of sinuses Right and Left transverse sinuses

Confluence of sinuses Transverse sinuses

Cavernous sinuses

Sigmoid sinuses Superior and inferior petrosal sinuses

Blood Supply
.

A. posterior meningeal artery (from the ascending pharyngeal artery through the jugular foramen) B. meningeal arteries (from the ascending pharyngeal artery through hypoglossal canal) C. meningeal arteries (from occipital artery through jugular or mastoid foramen) D. meningeal arteries (from vertebral artery through foramen magnum)

Sensory Innervation
Sensory innervation of the supratentorial dura mater is via small meningeal branches of the trigeminal nerve

The innervation for the infratentorial (is the area located below the tentorium cerebelli) dura mater are upper cervical nerves.

Dural ectasia is the enlargement of the dura and is common in connective tissue disorders. Spontaneous cerebrospinal fluid leak is the fluid and pressure loss of spinal fluid due to holes in the dura mater. Cerebral venous sinus thrombosis:this occurs as a result of blood clot formation on the blood vessel
