The meninges are three membranes that surround and divide the brain and spinal cord from the bony structures that contain them (skull and vertebral column).
There are three layers of meninges, which include the dura mater, pia mater, and arachnoid mater.
It is a group of membranes that line the central nervous system (CNS) and assist to protect the spinal cord and brain tissues from many forms of damage.
If the meninges are damaged:
Meningeal damage can result in cell death in the underlying brain regions.
Meningeal damage can cause meningitis, hematoma, etc.
