Intrathecal injection is directed into the space surrounding the spinal cord, known as the intrathecal space. This route allows direct delivery of medication into the cerebrospinal fluid for effective distribution to the central nervous system.
The intrathecal space is located within the spinal canal, which surrounds the spinal cord and is filled with cerebrospinal fluid. It plays a crucial role in protecting the spinal cord from damage and providing buoyancy and nutrients to the neural tissues.
