Optic nerve‐associated connective tissue structures revisited: A histological study using human fetuses and adult cadavers

Abstract: Unlike the usual peripheral nerve, the optic nerve accompanies a thick "dural sheath," a thin "sheath of pia mater" (SPM), and multiple "septa," which divides the nerve fibers into fascicles. We collected specimens from 25 adult cadavers and 15 fetuses and revisited the histological architecture of the optic and oculomotor nerves. In the optic chiasma, the meningeal layer of the dura joins the pia to form a thick SPM, and the periosteum of the sphenoid is continuous with the dural sheath at the orbital exit of… Show more
