Spinal Arachnoiditis

📋Overview

This condition occurs when the arachnoid membrane becomes inflamed, leading to the formation of scar tissue and adhesions. These changes can cause spinal nerve roots to stick together, which may result in nerve entrapment and various neurological symptoms.

The inflammatory process within the spinal canal involves the middle layer of the meninges, which serves as a protective barrier for the central nervous system. This clinical state is characterized by the persistent irritation and subsequent scarring of the tissues surrounding the spinal nerves.
