Carcinomatosis of the Meninges of the Spinal Cord and Base of the Brain, Without Involvement of the Parenchyma, Secondary to Carcinoma of the Lung
CARCINOMATOSIS OF THE MENINGES OF THE SPINAL CORD AND BASE OF THE BRAIN, WITHOUT INVOLVEMENT OF THE PARENCHYMA, SECONDARY TO CARCINOMA OF THE LUNG BERNARD J. ALPERS, M.D., A~D O. NORRIS SMITH, M.D. (From the Laboratories of Neurosurgery and Pathology in the Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania) Metastatic carcinoma of the nervous system limited to the meninges IS rare, but it has been frequently described. Carcinomatosis of this sort is usually confined to the meninges over the cerebral hemispheres and only occa sionally spreads to the spinal membranes. Meningeal carcinomatosis con fined to the spinal cord and to a portion of the base of the brain without in volvement of the cerebrum itself is so unusual that the following case is pre sented as an addition to our knowledge concerning metastatic carcinoma of the central nervous system. REPORT OF CASE CASE No. 36-23924: Weakness five months; lumbar pain one month; mass in left upper lobe demonstrable roentgenographically; severe pain in legs; wasting and progressive weak ness suggestive of spinal cord lesion; flaccid paralysis; fibrillary tremors in trunk and limb muscles; diminished lower abdominal and leg reflexes; inconclusive Queckenstedt test; pleocytosis in spinal fluid. Necropsy findings: mass in left lung, probably primary carci noma; meningeal carcinomatosis oj spinal cord membranes and membranes at base of brain; no tumor in cord or brain. History: J. R., a fifty-six-year-old white farmer, recently employed as a church sexton, was admitted to the medical service of Dr. Alfred Stengel on Sept. 12, 1936, complaining of lower back pain which had confined him to bed for a month.

MENINGEAL LAYERS 1 / 4 • Dura mater forms a thick ring within the spinal canal. • The dural root sheath (aka dural root sleeve) is the dural investment that follows nerve roots into the intervertebral foramen. • The arachnoid mater runs underneath the dura (we lose sight of it under the dural root sheath). • The pia mater directly adheres to the spinal cord and nerve roots, and so it takes the shape of those structures. MENINGEAL SPACES • The epidural space forms external to the dura mater, internal to the vertebral foramen. • The subdural space lies between the dura and arachnoid mater layers. • The subarachnoid space lies between the arachnoid and pia mater layers. CRANIAL VS SPINAL MENINGES&NBSP; Cranial Meninges • Epidural is a potential space, so it's not a typical disease site unless in the setting of high pressure middle meningeal artery rupture or from traumatic defect. • Subdural is a potential space but bridging veins (those that pass from the subarachnoid space into the dural venous sinuses) can tear, so it is a common site of hematoma. • Subarachnoid space is an actual space and is a site of hemorrhage and infection, for example.

MENINGES and CEREBROSPINAL FLUID' by LEWIS H
MENINGES AND CEREBROSPINAL FLUID' By LEWIS H. WEED Department of Anatomy, John Hopkins University THE divorce of structure from function is particularly difficult in any ana- tomical study: it was only 85 years ago that the two subjects of morphology and physiology were considered to justify separate departments as academic disciplines. But with this cleavage which fortunately has not at any time been a rigid one, only certain investigations could go forward without loss of in- spiration and interpretation when studied apart from the sister science; other researches were enormously hampered and could be attacked only with due regard to structure and function. So it is without apologies that I begin the presentation of the problem of the coverings of the central nervous system -coverings which encompass a characteristic body fluid. Here then is a problem of membranes serving to contain a clear, limpid liquid as a sac might hold it. Immediately many questions of biological significance are at hand: how does it happen that these structures retain fluid; where does the fluid come from; where does it go; is the fluid constantly produced or is it an inert, non-circu- lating medium; is the fluid under pressure above that of the atmosphere; does it move about with changes in the animal body?-but the list of problems springing into one's mind grows too long. Knowledge regarding these many questions has progressed since the first accounts of hydrocephalus were given by writers in the Hippocratic corpus, since discovery of the normal ventricular fluid in Galen's time, since its meningeal existence was first uncovered by Valsalva (1911) and advanced by Cotugno (1779), since the first adequate description by Magendie (1825) 100 years ago.

This article is an open access publication Abstract Meninges that surround the CNS consist of an outer fbrous sheet of dura mater (pachymeninx) that is also the inner peri- osteum of the skull. Underlying the dura are the arachnoid and pia mater (leptomeninges) that form the boundaries of the subarachnoid space. In this review we (1) examine the development of leptomeninges and their role as barriers and facilita- tors in the foetal CNS.

Meningeal Defects Alter the Tangential Migration Of
Zarbalis et al. Neural Development 2012, 7:2 http://www.neuraldevelopment.com/content/7/1/2 RESEARCHARTICLE Open Access Meningeal defects alter the tangential migration of cortical interneurons in Foxc1hith/hith mice Konstantinos Zarbalis1,2*, Youngshik Choe3, Julie A Siegenthaler3, Lori A Orosco1,2 and Samuel J Pleasure3* Abstract Background: Tangential migration presents the primary mode of migration of cortical interneurons translocating into the cerebral cortex from subpallial domains. This migration takes place in multiple streams with the most superficial one located in the cortical marginal zone. While a number of forebrain-expressed molecules regulating this process have emerged, it remains unclear to what extent structures outside the brain, like the forebrain meninges, are involved. Results: We studied a unique Foxc1 hypomorph mouse model (Foxc1hith/hith) with meningeal defects and impaired tangential migration of cortical interneurons. We identified a territorial correlation between meningeal defects and disruption of interneuron migration along the adjacent marginal zone in these animals, suggesting that impaired meningeal integrity might be the primary cause for the observed migration defects. Moreover, we postulate that the meningeal factor regulating tangential migration that is affected in homozygote mutants is the chemokine Cxcl12. In addition, by using chromatin immunoprecipitation analysis, we provide evidence that the Cxcl12 gene is a direct transcriptional target of Foxc1 in the meninges. Further, we observe migration defects of a lesser degree in Cajal-Retzius cells migrating within the cortical marginal zone, indicating a less important role for Cxcl12 in their migration. Finally, the developmental migration defects observed in Foxc1hith/hith mutants do not lead to obvious differences in interneuron distribution in the adult if compared to control animals.
