Overview

The meninges are three protective membrane layers—the dura mater, arachnoid mater, and pia mater—that surround the brain and spinal cord, providing structural support and serving as barriers against infection and injury. Research published in Neurological Research and Therapy addresses clinical conditions affecting these membranes and adjacent structures within the central nervous system. Published work has examined malignant neoplasms of the meninges and related central nervous system structures, analyzing epidemiological patterns and statistical trends in specific populations. The journal has also explored infectious complications involving the meninges, including systematic reviews of bacterial meningitis occurring in association with pituitary tumors, highlighting the vulnerability of patients with structural lesions. Additional research has documented cases where meningeal involvement occurs secondary to systemic conditions, such as plasma cell infiltration in multiple myeloma patients and lymphomatous infiltration of the central nervous system during chemotherapy. These studies underscore the clinical significance of meningeal pathology in oncology, infectious disease, and neurosurgery, where accurate diagnosis and understanding of disease mechanisms affecting the meninges remain essential for patient management and outcomes.
