👉 The term "leptomeningeal" refers to a type of tissue that is found within the lining of the membranes or cavities in the brain and spinal cord, specifically in the meninges (membranes) that cover these structures. This tissue plays an important role in the communication between the brain and the spinal cord by providing structural support and protecting the contents of the spaces. It also helps to regulate the temperature and pressure within these chambers.
