Not illustrated. 1907 Excerpt: ...layer of the cranium, and is thus formed of two laminae, the periosteal and the dural, which are for the most part completely fused. The dura mater has a shining whitish color and is composed of crossed oblique and longitudinal fibers, and lies closely upon the inner surface of the cranial fossa, of which it takes an exact impression. It varies somewhat in thickness; where it passes through foramina of the skull with vessels and nerves it decreases remarkably in thickness, forming sheaths for the emerging nerves. In addition to forming an internal lining for the cranium, it has three processes which extend between separate portions of the brain and partly serve as supports for it. The whole surface of the dura facing the cranial fossa, as well as both surfaces of the flat processes, are quite smooth and glossy, while the surface lying next the cranial bones and serving as their periosteum is uneven and rough, especially at the base of the cranium, where it is more closely adherent to the bone than on the inner surface of the roof, numerous small blood-vessels penetrating from the dura mater into the cranial bones. In certain regions the two laminae of the dura separate to enclose smooth cavities and canals, of which the most important are the sinuses of the dura mater, the large blood-vessels of the dura mater (see page 85). Another large cavity of the dura is the space which encloses the semilunar ganglion of the trigeminal nerve, the so-called Meckel's cavity. A large dural process extends into the subarcuate fossa of the temporal bone and fills its cavity completely. Special formations of the encephalic dura mater are: 1. The Diaphragma Sella: (Fig. 679).--While a thin lamina of dura covers the floor of the sella turcica, a lamina perforated at the cente...
