Relating to the glands and the meninges, the membranes surrounding the brain and spinal cord.
From Greek adeno- 'gland' + meningeal (from Greek meninx 'membrane'). Medical terminology combining two anatomical structures in a descriptive compound.
Adenomeningeal pathology is rare but serious because it affects both immune tissue and the brain's protective membranes—the rarity of this term reflects how seldom these structures are involved together in disease!
