Partially covered by the occipital bone, this structure is always encountered when the bone is removed from the foramen magnum rim during approaches to the posterior cranial fossa. Although known to surgeons, this structure has not been defined, studied, or named. The most appropriate name for this structure is \u201cthe suboccipital ligament,\u201d and a detailed rationale for this name is provided.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>METHODS<\/jats:title><jats:p>This 3-year-long study included 10 cadaveric specimens and 39 clinical patients: 31 consecutive surgically treated patients with Chiari Type I malformations (CM-I subgroup) and 8 other patients with posterior fossa pathologies (non\u2013CM-I subgroup). The dimensions were defined, the function of this ligament was hypothesized, size and histological composition were compared between patient subgroups, and its origin and relationship to the surrounding structures were analyzed. Possible statistical differences in the parameters between the 2 groups were also evaluated.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>RESULTS<\/jats:title><jats:p>The suboccipital ligament consists of horizontally oriented hyaline fibers and has a median length of 35 mm, height of 10 mm, and thickness of 0.5 mm. These dimensions are not significantly different between the CM-I and non\u2013CM-I patients. The median age of the patients was 43 years, with CM-I patients being significantly younger (median 35 years) than non\u2013CM-I patients (median 57 years). There was no statistically significant difference in weight, height, and body mass index between patient subgroups. There was no significant correlation between the body mass index or height of the patients and the dimensions of the ligament. No statistically significant differences existed between the subgroups in terms of smoking history, alcohol consumption, and the presence of diabetes mellitus, hypertension, hydrocephalus, or headaches. The ligament tissue in the CM-I patients was disorganized with poorly arranged collagen bands and interspersed adipose tissue. These patients also had more hyalinized fibrosis and showed changes in the direction of fibers, with hyaline nodules ranging from 0 to 2+. The result of the histological evaluation of the suboccipital ligament for hyaline nodules, calcification, and ossification was graded as 2+ if present in 3 or more medium-power magnification fields (MPFs); 1+ if present in 1\u20132 MPFs; and 0, if present in less than 1 MPF. Histological examination of the ligaments showed structural differences between CM-I and non\u2013CM-I patients, most notably the presence of hyaline nodules and an altered fiber orientation in CM-I patients.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>CONCLUSIONS<\/jats:title><jats:p>The suboccipital ligament extends between the occipital condyle and the superior edge of the C-1 lamina, connecting the contralateral sides, and appears to function as a real ligament. It is ventral to the occipital bone, which covers approximately two-thirds of the height of the ligament and is loosely attached to the dura medially and more firmly laterally. Because of its distinctive anatomy, characteristics, and function, the suboccipital ligament deserves its own uniform designation and name.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.3171\/2016.10.jns162161","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2017,4,14]],"date-time":"2017-04-14T15:15:04Z","timestamp":1492182904000},"page":"165-173","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":9,"title":["The suboccipital ligament"],"prefix":"10.3171","volume":"128","author":[{"given":"Kelsey","family":"Alabaster","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"College of Medicine and"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"M.","family":"Fred Bugg","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Pathology Group of the Midsouth;"},{"name":"American Esoteric Laboratories;"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Bruno","family":"Splavski","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Neurosurgery, Osijek University School of Medicine, Osijek, Croatia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Frederick A.","family":"Boop","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Neurosurgery, University of Tennessee Health Science Center;"},{"name":"Semmes-Murphey Clinic, Memphis, Tennessee; and"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Kenan I.","family":"Arnautovic","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Neurosurgery, University of Tennessee Health Science Center;"},{"name":"Semmes-Murphey Clinic, Memphis, Tennessee; and"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1754","reference":[{"issue":"1","key":"b1-jns162161","series-title":"Neurosurg Focus","first-page":"E2","article-title":"Surgical treatment of Chiari I malformation: indications and approaches","volume":"11","author":"Alden TD,","year":"2001","unstructured":"Alden TD, Ojemann JG, Park TS: Surgical treatment of Chiari I malformation: indications and approaches.
