Thus Mr Toynbee recorded a case where an hydatid (which I take to have been the Cysticercus cellulosæ) situated in the middle cerebral fossa beneath the dura mater, but in this instance death ensued from other causes.
It formed a marked prominence on the anterior surface of the brain, and was bounded superficially by the pia mater and arachnoid, which were neither noticeably thickened nor adherent to the dura mater.
The anatomical department of the Oxford Collection shows from one particular case two hydatids that were found “under the dura mater.
These two coverings have their origin in the membrane about the brain, that is in the dura mater, just as the first tunic arises from the membrane over the skull, called almochatim.

If the dura mater is very adherent to the calvaria, it may be necessary to remove it with the bone, by cutting through it at the level of the cranial incision.
Examine the internal surface of the dura mater for the presence of clots, tumors, or inflammatory lesions.
Especially is this true of the mucous membranes such as those of the trachea and bronchi, and also of the blood in the sinuses of the dura mater.
Note whether the dura mater is adherent to the pia mater, and the condition of its internal surface.
In this case the amount of blood found in the brain seems to have been about normal, the vessels of the dura were moderately dilated and those of the pia “in a medium state of congestion.
Remove thedura mater by an incision following the cranial incision, the falx cerebri between the anterior lobes being drawn back and divided.
Examine the calvaria as also the other bones of the skull after the brain has been removed and the dura stripped off, for evidence of fracture.
The cord is laid on a clean board and thedura mater opened with a blunt-pointed scissors along its anterior aspect, and an examination made for the presence of hemorrhage, inflammatory lesions, and tumors.
Effusions of blood may be found beneath the dura or in the brain substance itself, due to the laceration or injury of vessels.
This effusion may occur on the surface of the brain in connection with a superficial laceration of the brain or just beneath or outside the dura mater and not involving the brain directly.
This second brass tube is screwed into the first, till the thin rubber presses upon the dura mater and the level of the colored water stands at 0, which is in the middle of the scale.
The opening made by the trephine was enlarged with a pair of strong bone-forceps, so as to expose the dura mater to the extent of a full square inch.

This Operation is to be perform'd, when it is inferr'd from the Signs of which we have already given a particular Account, that some Matter is diffus'd over the Dura Mater.
In his account of the cerebral membranes, though short, he notices the principal characters of the dura mater.
The pietra dura work belongs to the Persian school and the common belief that it was designed by Austin de Bordeaux, a French architect in the service of Shah Jahan, is probably incorrect.
Experience, however, has shown that no reliance can be placed on this as a landmark, as, if the bone is chiselled through at this point, it is by no means uncommon to expose the dura mater of the middle fossa.
As a rule the dura mater, arachnoid, and pia mater are fused together by inflammatory adhesions, so that from a practical point of view they need hardly be considered as separate structures.
On further exposure of the sinus on each side of the thrombus, the dura mater may appear to be of a dark colour for a short distance, but beyond this to be of normal appearance.
On exposure of the dura mater an extra-dural abscess may be met with, usually the result of internal-ear suppuration.
On the other hand, though rarely, the surface of the bone to all appearances is normal and there are no adhesions between it and the dura mater and underlying brain substance, and the abscess may be situated deeply within the brain.
Or the cerebral wall may sometimes be broken through without a serious result, if the dura mater be left intact behind it.
The dura mater is incised to the limits of its exposure either crucially or by cutting it through in the form of a large flap.
This can be done by pressing the dura mater inwards with a spatula so as to separate it from the overlying bone.
The bony roof of the antrum and mastoid is removed by means of the gouge and mallet, and so expose the dura mater covering the floor of the middle fossa (Fig.
American physicians described it as early as 1806 in such terms as these: "The dura mater and pia mater in several places adhered together and to the substance of the brain; .
Those most frequently found are adhesions of the dura mater to the inner surface of the cranium, injection or oedema of the pia mater, congestive oedema, and sometimes softening of the brain and effusion at the base of the brain.
Thrombi form in the jugular vein and its branches, and by breaking down lead to septicæmia and ichorization of the sinuses of the dura mater.
The dura mater is often very dark, its blood-vessels engorged, its arachnoid cavity distended with serum more or less bloody, turbid, or purulent.
Yesterday we visited the church of San Lorenzo, the Laurentian library, and the Pietra Dura manufactory, and afterwards spent an hour in the Tribune.
The pia mater bore marks of pretty extensive inflammation, and adhered to the dura mater at the vertex.
The dura mater, which was thickened, and in many places bore marks of former inflammation, adhered to the bone at the vertex.
Water was found between the dura and pia mater, and between the pia mater and arachnoides.
The scull was thick, the pericranium scarcely adhered to the bone, the dura mater was also but slightly attached to its internal surface.
The pericranium adhered but slightly to the scull, nor was the dura mater firmly attached.
There was a large quantity of water between the dura mater and tunica arachnoidea, and also between this latter membrane and the pia mater.
There was a remarkable accumulation of blood in the veins of the dura and pia mater; the substance of the brain was loaded with blood.
The pericranium and dura mater adhered firmly to the scull; in many places there was an opake whiteness of the tunica arachnoidea.
There was a large accumulation of water between the dura mater and tunica arachnoidea; when this was let out the dura mater became flaccid, and seemed to hang loose on the brain.
There was a large quantity of water between the duramater and tunica arachnoidea; this latter membrane was much thickened, and was of a milky white appearance.
The scull was particularly thin; the pericranium adhered firmly to the bone, and the scull-cap was with difficulty separated from the dura mater.
Each apperception center had its own elevator shaft which went through the concrete of the "dura matter" down to "Grand Central", the traffic center below The Brain.
Temporal artery and temporal vein, with some ascending temporal branches of portio-dura nerve.
The transversalis fascia supports externally the peritonaeum, in the same way as the dura mater supports the arachnoid membrane, or as the pleural fascia supports the serous pleura.
The above list will hopefully give you a few useful examples demonstrating the appropriate usage of "dura" in a variety of sentences. We hope that you will now be able to make sentences using this word.
