What causes arachnoid thickening?

summary

What causes arachnoid thickening? Arachnoiditis is a kind of tissue reaction of the arachnoid membrane of brain or spinal cord under the action of some causes. It is characterized by thickening, adhesion and cyst formation of arachnoid membrane. In fact, it is a pathological diagnosis, rather than a disease unit, which is more common in young and middle-aged people.

What causes arachnoid thickening?

Arachnoid thickening is a kind of tissue reaction under the action of some causes. The causes of arachnoid thickening are various. The common causes are infection, trauma, foreign body stimulation, chronic inflammation, primary lesions of central nervous system, skull and spine lesions, poisoning, etc. which make arachnoid thickening gradually, cause damage to spinal cord and nerve root, or form cyst to block medullary cavity, Or affect the spinal cord blood circulation, and finally lead to dysfunction.

In the differential diagnosis, most patients with subarachnoid hemorrhage have clear consciousness. If they have disturbance of consciousness or coma awake coma, they should consider continuing bleeding. Such as coma with irregular respiratory rate, high fever, is the symptom of brainstem hemorrhage. Arachnoid adhesion is the main feature of arachnoiditis. Arachnoiditis refers to a kind of tissue reaction of the arachnoid in the brain or spinal cord under the action of some causes. The main features are thickening, adhesion and cyst formation of the arachnoid.

Arachnoid cysts are divided into congenital and secondary types. The former is the problem of occurrence, while the latter is the result of extensive arachnoid adhesion caused by trauma and inflammation. Congenital arachnoid cyst is a bag like structure formed by cerebrospinal fluid surrounded in arachnoid. No communication with subarachnoid space. Because of the adhesion of arachnoid, cyst was formed in subarachnoid space, which contained cerebrospinal fluid. Most of them are located in the fovea, cisterna magna, cisterna quadriceps and suprasellar cisterna.
