Dura<br />

<strong>The</strong> dura is the outermost (and toughest) layer of the 3 meningeal layers that cover the brain<br />

and spinal cord.<br />

<strong>The</strong> dura is punctured during spinal anesthesia. In epidural anesthesia, one aims to avoid<br />

puncturing the dura. Instead, a catheter is place just outside the dura, in the epidural space.<br />
