The sagittal sinus in the man, dog, cat and rabbit was studied; we have noted remarkable histological differences within the zoological succession in the system of discharge of the cerebrospinal fluid in the venous system. The differences, probably, are chargeable to the different metabolic encephalic exigences which in the man are exalted and which justify the presence of the more complicated structures.

Bridging veins: an analysis of surgical anatomy and histology correlated with interhemispheric approaches.
Front Neuroanat
November 2024
Department of Intensive Care Unit, Liuzhou People's Hospital, Liuzhou, Guangxi, China.
Article Synopsis
- The study focuses on the significance of bridging veins in surgical approaches between brain hemispheres, highlighting potential complications if they are damaged.
- Morphological and histological characteristics were examined through cadaver dissections and imaging in 10 heads and 86 patients, providing insights into their structures.
- Three types of bridging vein configurations were identified, which can help surgeons anticipate vein arrangements and improve safety during surgical procedures.
Background: Chronic subdural hematoma (CSDH) is a type of spontaneous or post-traumatic intracranial hemorrhage located between the dura mater and arachnoid membrane. It is a neurosurgical disease that often occurs in the elderly. Burr-hole drainage is the main treatment method, and smear microscopic examination of the drainage fluid is a common laboratory method.

Surg Neurol Int
November 2024
Department of Neurological Surgery, Juntendo University Urayasu Hospital, Urayasu, Japan.
Background: Arachnoid cysts (ACs) complicated by chronic subdural hematoma (CSDH) are a rare but distinct entity.
Case Description: A 27-year-old man previously diagnosed with Sylvian AC presented to the hospital with a persistent headache. He was not aware of any preceding head trauma.
Medial Pontine Area: A Safe Entry to the Brainstem as a Cut Above the Rest.
Turk Neurosurg
November 2024
Karabuk University, Faculty of Medicine, Department of Neurosurgery, Karabuk, Türkiye.
Aim: To examine the fiber-based anatomy of the medial pontine area (MPA), one of the most commonly used brainstem (BS) safe entry zones in neurosurgery.
Material And Methods: According to the protocol of Klingler and Ludwig, six BSs were kept in 10% formalin solution for at least 2 months. After removing the arachnoid mater, pia mater, and vascular structures, the samples were frozen at -16°C for at least 2 weeks.
Infectious meningitis. Why are the leptomeninges preferentially involved? Electron microscopic insights.
Clin Anat
September 2024
Department of Anesthesiology, University of Florida College of Medicine, Gainesville, Florida, USA.
In infectious meningitis, pathogens preferentially attack the leptomeninges (pia mater and arachnoid) rather than the pachymeninges (dura mater). This study aims to provide ultra-anatomical insights from our extensive collection of electron microscopy images and propose mechanisms, highlighting structures that favor the introduction, adherence, colonization, and proliferation of microorganisms leading to spinal meningitis. Over several years, we analyzed an extensive collection of transmission and scanning electron microscopy images of human spinal meninges captured in our laboratories.
