What are the meninges, and what happens if they get inflamed or damaged? - #14698
I recently heard about the meninges, but I don’t fully understand what they are or how they function. I know they have something to do with the brain, but I don’t know why they are important. What exactly are the meninges, and what role do they play in protecting the brain and spinal cord? I read that they have multiple layers—what are these layers called, and do they each serve a different function? Also, what happens if the meninges become inflamed or infected, like in meningitis? I also want to know what causes issues with the meninges. Are infections the most common cause, or can injuries, autoimmune diseases, or other conditions also affect them? Also, what are the symptoms of meninges problems, and how are they diagnosed? If anyone has experienced issues with the meninges, what was the cause, and how was it treated? Did it require hospitalization, or were there natural treatments that helped with recovery?
