Abstract

Fibroblasts, macrophages, and mast cells may be present throughout the spinal meninges, within the thickness of the three membranes: dura mater, pia mater, and arachnoid. In addition, these cell types are present inside nerve roots, dorsal root ganglia, and peripheral nerves at the endoneurial level, within the perineurial laminas, interfascicular connective tissue, and epineurium.
