A14.1.01.002 Pachymeninx The Latin official synonym dura mater contained an adjective before the noun it modifies, which is not compatible with the rules of Regular Anatomical Terminology. Because the term dura mater is many centuries old, the phrase has been preserved by the insertion of an unbreakable space between the two words.
A14.1.01.003 Leptomeninx The Latin official synonym (arachnoidea mater et pia mater) contained a conjunction, which is not compatible with the rules of Regular Anatomical Terminology. Therefore, this term was removed.
