The meninges of the brain and spinal cord play a critical role in protecting the central nervous system and maintaining its structural and functional integrity [1, 2]. Anatomical and morphological features of the meninges form the basis for understanding meningeal and intracranial syndromes [3, 4]. Disorders involving the meninges, such as meningitis, subarachnoid hemorrhage, and intracranial hypertension, manifest through specific clinical symptoms, which are directly related to the structural organization and functional properties of the meningeal layers [4, 5, 6]. This study aims to analyze the anatomical characteristics of the meninges and their relevance to the pathophysiology of meningeal and intracranial syndromes [3, 9]. A comprehensive understanding of these anatomical foundations is essential for accurate diagnosis, timely intervention, and effective clinical management of neurological disorders [1, 2, 9].
