Atlantoaxial ligament Anterior Superficial

The anterior superficial atlantosphenal ligament is a connective tissue that connects the dorsum of the skull and the anterior surface of the occipital bone. It has an important function in maintaining a stable head position by transmitting forces from the facial region of the skull to the spine. This ligament plays an important role in coordinating the movements of the head and neck while providing protection to the nerve fibers. The importance of the anterior aspect of the atlantosphenolgic ligament cannot be underestimated, since trauma to the skull, changes in the congenital structure of this ligament, or pathological changes during growth can lead to various diseases of the head and neck.

The anterior surface of the atlantocellular ligament is responsible for the formation of the anterior ligamentous complex between the occipital bone and the atlas (head). Rear surface
