During neurosurgical operations of 73 patients alterations of the leptomeninx were found additionally other clinical diagnoses or confirming the clinical diagnosis of a chronic leptomeningopathia. In these cases tissue was taken for histological examination. In 65 cases there were alterations of all parts of the leptomeninx, mostly connected with inflammatory infiltrations. The commonly used terms "arachnitis" or "arachnoiditis" for these circumscribed chronic leptomeningopathias are not to be accepted because of different reasons. Instead of these names a describing diagnosis is recommended.
在73例患者的神经外科手术中，发现软脑膜有改变，这些改变可作为其他临床诊断依据，或用于确诊慢性软脑膜炎的临床诊断。在这些病例中，取组织进行组织学检查。65例患者软脑膜各部分均有改变，大多与炎性浸润有关。由于多种原因，对于这些局限性慢性软脑膜炎，常用的术语“蛛网膜炎”是不被接受的。因此，建议使用描述性诊断来替代这些名称。
