Meningeal lymphatic vessels in distance from blood vessels. A-D A characteristic observation was the presence of lymphatic vessels (white arrowheads) in distance from blood vessels, here illustrated by LYVE-1 positive vessels with no Lectin-stained blood vessels nearby. Section in panel A belongs to patient #8, section in panels B and C to patient #16 and section in panel D to patient #22. Panels E-G are a magnification of C with only the lymphatic staining (E), blood vessel staining (F) and both superimposed (G). Lastly, example measurements of lymphatic vessel lumen, wall thickness and overall width can be seen in E and G
