The tectorial membrane of atlanto-axial joint is a tough membrane/broad, strong band representing the superior-ward prolongation of the posterior longitudinal ligament. It attaches inferiorly onto the body of axis. It broadens superiorly. Superiorly, the membrane extends deep to the median atlanto-axial joint and its associated ligaments, then through the foramen magnum into the cranial cavity where it ends by attaching onto the basilar part of occipital bone superior to the foramen magnum.
