By means of silver nitrate impregnation and hematoxylin -- eosin staining the microcirculatory bed of the human brain dura mater (the second half of the mature age) has been investigated. Owing to the analysis of the morphometrical data of module organization of the hemomicrocirculatory bed, an objective quantitative characteristics of its peculiarities in various layers and areas of the dura mater is presented. In three layers of the dura mater in the fornix and skull basis area, falx cerebri and tentorium cerebelli venular links predominate. Most of all morphometrical parameters of the venular vessels increase in the internal layer of the dura mater in the skull basis area. Conditions of functioning for the human brain dura mater are reflected in its blood bed, its specificity manifesting at the microcirculatory level.

Microcirculatory vascular bed was sampled from dura mater of children under 1 year (healthy and with intracranial hypertension due to innate hydrocephalus) and stained with hematoxylin-eosin. Micro- and macroscopy of the modular organization of microvasculature showed that the rise in intracranial pressure resulted in restructuring of the arteriolar bed, appearance of unusual vascular forms, volume expansion and changes in other parameters, especially in the inner layer of dura mater. Capillary network was also distorted.
