Resumo

✓ The relationship of the meninges internally to the nerve roots, posterior root ganglion, and spinal nerve, and externally to the wall of the intervertebral foramen, has been investigated. The neural structures and their coverings are not attached to the foramen. Only the fourth, fifth, and sixth cervical spinal nerves have a strong attachment to the vertebral column, and this is to the gutter of the vertebral transverse process. The observations have relevance to any local lesion that may fix, deform, or otherwise affect the nerve and nerve roots to the point of interfering with their function. They may also be important to traction injuries of nerve roots.
