Accepted Answer

The subarachnoid space is the space associated with the spinal cord meninges that contains cerebrospinal fluid. The epidural space is located outside of the dura mater and contains fat and blood vessels. The subdural space is located between the dura mater and arachnoid mater, and usually contains a small amount of fluid. The epiarachnoid space and subpial space are not recognized as distinct spaces within the spinal cord meninges.
