Cerebrospinal Fluid

Whilst the greatest effort has been made to ensure the quality of this text, due to the historical nature of this content, in some rare cases there may be minor issues with legibility. In addition to this major venous absorption through arachnoid villi directly into the great dural sinuses, an accessory drainage by way of the lymphatic system was demonstrated. This seemed a much slower, less efficient means of absorption of the fluid, caring for but a small fraction of the total. Such lymphatic absorption was wholly indirect; the fluid reached the true lymphatic vessel only outside of the dura and then by way of perineural Spaces.
