  1. Brain Meninges,Ventricles andCSF

  2. LectureObjectives • Describethearrangementofthemeningesandtheirrelationshipto brain and spinalcord. • Explaintheoccurrenceofepidural,subduralandsubarachnoid spaces. • Locate theprincipal subarachnoid cisterns, and arachnoid granulations. • Describetheventriclesofbrainandimportanceoftheirchoroids plexus. • Summarize the pathway of cerebrospinal fluid(CSF) circulation. • Locatethesafesitesforthelumbarpuncture. • Identify brain ventricles in CT scan, MRI andventriculograms.

  3. CerebralMeninges • Duramater • Endosteallayer • Meningeallayer • Arachnoidmater • Piamater

  4. DuraMater • Endosteal layer =periosteum • Venoussinuses • Meningeallayer • Continuous with spinaldura mater • Falxcerebri • Shape, Attachments &Sinuses • Tentoriumcerebelli • Shape, Attachments &Sinuses • Tentorialnotch • Falxcerebelli • Shape, Attachments &Sinuses • Diaphragmasellae • Shape, Attachments &Sinuses

  5. DuraMater • Nervesupply • Cranial nerves V &X • Referralpaintotheheadfromabove the tentoriumcerebelli • Spinal nervesC1-C3 • Referralpaintothebackofthehead and neck frombellow tentorium • Sympathetic • Bloodsupply • Internal carotid, maxillary,ascending pharyngeal, occipital & vertebralaa • Middle meningeala.

  6. Dural VenousSinuses • Location • Drains….. • Fate • Superior sagittalsinus • Venouslacunae • Inferior sagittalsinus • Straightsinus • Occipitalsinus • Transversesinus • Sigmoidsinus • Cavernoussinuses • Superior and inferior petrosalsinuses

  7. Dural VenousSinuses

  8. ArachnoidMater • Subduralspace • Subarachnoidspace • Cerebral BV & cranialnn. • CSF • Subarachnoidcisternae • Arachnoidvilli • Arachnoidgranulations • Fuse with epineuriumat foramina • Except for optic nerve - fusewith sclera

  9. PiaMater • Adheres closely to thebrain • Goes deep into thesulci • Fuse with nervesepineurium • Covers cerebral arteries entering brainsubstance • Specialized over theroofs of ventricles (tela choroidea) • Contributetoformationofchoroidplexuses

  10. VentricularSystem • Lateralventricles • Interventricularforamina • Thirdventricle • Cerebralaqueduct • Fourthventricle • Centralcanal • Terminalventricle

  11. LateralVentricles • Location • Shape • Parts • Body • Horns • Anterior, posterior,inferior • Choroidplexus

  12. LateralVentricles • Relations • Corpuscallosum • Septumpellucidum • Fornix • Thalamus • Caudatenucleus

  13. ThirdVentricles • Shape • Interventricular foramen(foramina ofMonro) • Cerebral aqueduct (aqueductof Sylvius) • Walls • Anteriorwall • Posteriorwall • Lateralwall • Roof • Floor • Choroidplexus

  14. FourthVentricle • Shape • Relations • Walls • Lateralwalls • Roof (posteriorwall) • Superior and inferior medullaryvelum • Median aperture (foramenof Magendie) • Lateral apertures(foramina of Luschka) • Choroidplexus • Floor (rhomboidfossa)

  15. SubarachnoidCisterns • Extended area ofthe subarachnoidspace • Subarachnoidcisterns • Cerebellomedullarycistern (cisternamagnum) • Medianaperture • Pontinecistern • Lateralapertures • Interpeduncularcistern

  16. SubarachnoidCisterns

  17. Cerebrospinal Fluid(CSF) • 80-150 ml(3-5oz) • Clear liquid containing glucose, proteins, &ions • Functions • mechanicalprotection • floats brain & softens impact with bonywalls • chemicalprotection • optimal ionic concentrations for actionpotentials • circulation • nutrientsandwasteproductstoandfrombloodstream

  18. Origin ofCSF • Choroid plexus =capillariescovered by ependymalcells • 2lateralventricles,onewithineachcerebralhemisphere • Roof of 3rdventricle • Roof of fourthventricle

  19. Drainage of CSF fromVentricles • One median aperture & two lateral apertures allowCSF to exitfromtheinteriorofthebrain

  20. Flow of Cerebrospinal Fluid

  21. Reabsorption ofCSF • Reabsorbed through arachnoidvilli • grapelikeclustersofarachnoidpenetrateduralvenoussinus • 0.5ml/minreabsorptionrate=sameasproductionrate

  22. Reabsorption ofCSF • Whenpressurein CSF > venous Reabsorptionoccur • When pressure in venous >CSF arachnoid villi work asvalve

  23. Hydrocephalus • Blockage of drainage of CSF (tumor,inflammation, developmental malformation, meningitis, hemorrhage orinjury) • Continuedproductioncauseanincreasein pressure ---hydrocephalus • In newborn or fetus, the fontanels allow this internalpressuretocauseexpansionofthe skull anddamagetothebraintissue • Neurosurgeon implants a drain shunting theCSF to theveinsoftheneckortheabdomen

  24. LeptomeningealDisease • Cancer metastasis throughCSF • Originatefrom • Primary CNStumors • Secondary distant tumors throughblood • Symptomsmayincludeheadache,spineorradicularlimbpainor sensory abnormalities, nausea andvomiting

  25. SubarachnoidHemorrhage • Nontraumatic(spontaneous) • Blood inCSF • Mainly fromaneurisms • Arise at arterial branchpoints • 85% anteriorcirculation • 15% posteriorcirculation • 30% anterior comm., 25% posterior comm.,20% MCA • Themainsymptomisasevereheadachethatstartssuddenly(oftencalled thunderclapheadache) • Traumatic • Morecommon • Duetocontusionsandothertraumaticinjuries • Severeheadache

  26. Extensions of the SubarachnoidSpace

  27. Blood BrainBarrier • protects cells from sometoxins andpathogens • proteins & antibiotics can notpass but alcohol & anestheticsdo • Structure • tight junctions sealtogether epithelialcells • continuous basementmembrane • astrocyte processescovering capillaries

  28. Blood BrainBarrier • Areas withoutBBB • Area postrema in thefloor of the fourthventricle • Areas in thehypothalamus • Structure • Endothelialfenestrations

  29. Blood Cerebrospinal FluidBarrier • Structure • Endothelialcells • BM of endothelialcells • Palecells • BM of choroidal epithelialcells • Tight junctions seal thechoroidal epithelialcells
