Meningeal vascular network is significant in neurology and neurosurgery. However, high-resolution imaging of intact meningeal vascular network is lacking. In this work, we develop a practical experimental method to ensure that the intact meninges are morphologically unfolded and fixed in an agarose gel. With the help of high-brightness polymer dots (Pdots) as probe, macroscopic and detailed imaging of the vascular network on the intact dorsal meninges can be performed. Meningeal vessels are symmetrically distributed along the superior sagittal sinus, and the distribution of meningeal vessels had a certain degree of hierarchy. The meninges are thicker blood vessels and capillary networks from the outside to the inside. Moreover, the diameter of the capillaries is 3.96 ± 0.89 μm. Interestingly, meningeal primo vessels in the central nervous system of mice is imaged with the diameter of 4.18 ± 1.18 μm, which has not been reported previously. It is worth mentioning that we found that orthotopic xenografts of brain tumors caused the appearance of corneal neovascularization and morphological changes in optic nerve microvessels. In conclusion, our work provides an effective Pdots-based imaging method for follow-up research on meningeal vascular-related diseases, and illustrates that the eye can serve as a window for the prevention and diagnosis of brain diseases. |
