Meninges
Brain and spinal cord is protected by three layers of membranes together known as meninges. The thin innermost layer is pia mater. The middle layer, which is a web-like structure filled with fluid that cushions the brain is the arachnoid and the external hard layer is known as the dura mater.They helps to protect the nervous system, to keep it in place, to generate CSF, and to provide a pathway for fluids, nerves, and vessels.

Meningeal enhancement is a general term associated with the enhancement of the membranes that enfold the brain and spinal cord. According to the area involved, this enhancement can be divided in two subtypes:
