The meninges
The meninges
The dura was first described in ancient Egypt. Hippocrates insisted that it should be protected and not penetrated. Celsus proposed an association between clinical findings and meningeal damage. Galen proposed that the dura was attached only at the sutures, and he was the first to describe the pia in humans. In the Middle Ages, new interest in the management of meningeal injuries arose, with renewed interest in relating clinical changes to intracranial injuries. These associations were neither consistent nor accurate. The Renaissance brought little change. It was in the 18th century that it became clear that the indication for opening the cranium following trauma was to relieve pressure from hematomas. Moreover, the important clinical findings on which to base an indication for intervention were changes in the level of consciousness.
