Description[edit | edit source]
Strong broad structure which covers the Odontoid process and it's ligaments.
Continuous with the Posterior longitudinal ligament, found on the internal surface of the vertebral canal.
It is fixed, below, to the posterior surface of the body of the axis, and, expanding as it ascends, is attached to the basilar groove of the occipital bone, in front of the foramen magnum, where it blends with the cranial dura mater.
Its anterior surface is in relation with the transverse ligament of the atlas, and its posterior surface with the dura mater.
