The subdural space is a potential intracranial space situated between the arachnoid and dura. Fluid can collect in the subdural space and in the subarachnoid space.

Is subdural space the same as arachnoid space?
The potential space between the arachnoid and dura is called the subdural space and according to some authors, it contains a very thin layer of fluid. The space between the arachnoid and pia is called the subarachnoid space and it is filled with the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF).
What occupies the subdural space?
A potential space between the dura mater and the arachnoides is thought to exist, occupied by a serous fluid and called the subdural space.
What is subdural space anatomy?
The subdural space (or subdural cavity) is a potential space that can be opened by the separation of the arachnoid mater from the dura mater as the result of trauma, pathologic process, or the absence of cerebrospinal fluid as seen in a cadaver.
Can CSF be found in subdural space?
Conclusions. As indicated by the presence of βTP in the subdural fluid, CSF leakage into the subdural space is present in the vast majority of patients with CSDH and SH.
Where does the subdural space end?
It communicates with the intracranial subarachnoid space via the foramen magnum and ends at the level of the S2 vertebra. It is a relatively large space, containing approximately half of the total volume of cerebrospinal fluid (75mLs out of 150mLs) 1.
Where are meninges located?
Brain meninges are three-layer tissue envelopes that have a protective, supportive and metabolic role. They are located between the brain and the skull and between the spinal cord and spinal vertebrae and are constructed of loose and dense connective tissues.
What is the name of the space that contains CSF?
The subarachnoid space consists of the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF), major blood vessels, and cisterns. The cisterns are enlarged pockets of CSF created due to the separation of the arachnoid mater from the pia mater based on the anatomy of the brain and spinal cord surface.
Where is the arachnoid mater?
The arachnoid mater, named for its spiderweb-like appearance, is a thin, transparent membrane surrounding the spinal cord like a loosely fitting sac. Continuous with the cerebral arachnoid above, it passes through the foramen magnum and descends caudally to the S2 vertebral level.
Where is the subdural space quizlet?
The subdural space is between the arachnoid mater and the dura mater. The subdural space fills with fluid in the case of injury. The subdural space is a potential space. Put the cranial meninges in order, from deep (closest to the brain) to superficial (farthest from the brain).
What produces CSF?
According to the traditional understanding of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) physiology, the majority of CSF is produced by the choroid plexus, circulates through the ventricles, the cisterns, and the subarachnoid space to be absorbed into the blood by the arachnoid villi.
