Everything about Posterior Atlanto Ccipital Membrane totally explained
The
posterior atlantoöccipital membrane (
posterior atlantoöccipital ligament), broad but thin, is connected above, to the posterior margin of the
foramen magnum; below, to the upper border of the posterior arch of the
atlas.
On either side this membrane is defective below, over the groove for the
vertebral artery, and forms with this groove an opening for the entrance of the artery and the exit of the
suboccipital nerve.
The free border of the membrane, arching over the artery and nerve, is sometimes
ossified.
The membrane is in relation, behind, with the
Recti capitis posteriores minores and
Obliqui capitis superiores; in front, with the dura mater of the
vertebral canal, to which it's intimately adherent.
