MORPHOLOGICAL FEATURES AND LOCALIZATION OF VIRCHOW-ROBEN SPACES IN BRAIN
https://doi.org/10.51523/2708-6011.2013-10-3-3
Abstract
Virchow-Roben spaces (EPVS) are canals that surround intracerebral blood vessels. They are formed at the early stages of embryogenesis due to ingrowth into the nervous tissue of blood vessels that draw in the vascular folium of soft brain tunic. In the present scientific articles there are a lot of contradictions about localization of these spaces around capillaries, venules and veins, about their histological structure in the different areas of central nervous system. EPVSs are known to play a big role in the circulation of cerebral spinal fluid, in immune regulation, and are a compound part of the hematologic encephalitic barrier, which become wider in various pathologic processes. The study of the localization and structure of these spaces with the use of up-to-date methods of research will help to understand their function and clinical significance.
