“…These attachments usually are evenly spaced between the root exits, but not always. These are correctly shown in some texts (Williams and Warwick, 1980;Quain, 1908) as pointing in either direction. The attachments are not symmetrically placed from side to side and, at any given level, may attach more cephalad or caudad to the root exit (Fig.…”

“…2B). The light-microscopic structure of the arachnoid is beautifully described in other works (Alcolado et al, 1988;Angelo and Vasilev, 1988;Williams and Warwick, 1980;O'Rahilly and Muller, 1986;Quain, 1908).…”

Anteriorly, they range from none (Anson, 1950;Hamilton, 1956;Kahle et al, 1978;Morris, 1966;Ferner, 1963;Quain, 1908;Rohen and Yokuchi, 1984;Snell, 1978;Truex and Kellner, 1948;Woodburne, 1973), to one (Piersol, 1907), or two (Kiss and Szentagothai, 1964;Kuntz, 1936). Others mention connecting fine strands, filaments, or trabeculae (Bacon and Niles, 1983;Clemente, 1987;Snell, 1978;Walton, 1987;Krause and Cutts, 1986;Leeson et al, 1988;Basmajian and Slonecker, 1986;Martin, 1989).…”

This study was undertaken because of confusion arising from a diversity of names, descriptions, and drawings of the human spinal subarachnoid septa and trabeculae in the standard texts and dictionaries. Sixty-two complete human cords were examined under the dissecting scope. The finely "woven" adult arachnoid membrane was two-layered, and there were essentially no connecting septa or trabeculae between the cord and the arachnoid membrane anteriorly. Posteriorly, in the upper cervical region there is a scanty series of connecting fibers and fenestrated sheets 1 or 2 mm on either side of the midline; these become progressively more extensive in the lower cervical region, remain extensive to the lumbar enlargement, beyond which they progressively dwindle to end abruptly at the filum terminale origin. Throughout the cauda equina, strands are haphazardly arranged connecting the roots and supporting blood vessels. These occasionally become tangentially adherent to the arachnoid membrane. Throughout the length there are many unexplained, redundant, nonbranching, beaded, thicker "rogue strands". All of the above are of a different character from the right-angle fiber arrangement of the denticulate ligament, the two leaves of which are often separated form segmental longitudinal tunnels. The nerve rootlets (fila radicularia) for each dermatome are joined by strands and webs to each other. There was no evidence of change in number or type of connection with age.

“…The m. ischiococcygeus or coccygeus muscle is variably described as a part of the levator ani [Quain 1899, Mostwin 1991, or as a single muscle [Waldeyer 1899, Piersol 1930. Evolutionary it changed to a fibrous strand when the tail in humans disappeared, forming also most or part of the sacrospinous ligament [Elftman 1932, Thompson 1899, Knauer 1914.…”

“…COMMENT With regard to the distribution of pain, the standard works, such as Quain's (1909), state that the sensory fibres of the tube probably originate in the posterior roots of D 11 and 12 and L 1 and run to the tube in the ovarian plexus. Jefferson (1926) described a case of tubal torsion in which the pain was referred to the buttock, presumably along the lateral cutaneous branch of the posterior ramus of L 1.…”
