longitudinal ligaments

Preferred Label : longitudinal ligaments;

MeSH definition : Two extensive fibrous bands running the length of the vertebral column. The anterior longitudinal ligament (ligamentum longitudinale anterius; lacertus medius) interconnects the anterior surfaces of the vertebral bodies; the posterior longitudinal ligament (ligamentum longitudinale posterius) interconnects the posterior surfaces. The commonest clinical consideration is OSSIFICATION OF POSTERIOR LONGITUDINAL LIGAMENT. (From Stedman, 25th ed);

MeSH synonym : ligament, longitudinal; longitudinal ligament; ligaments, longitudinal; ligamentum longitudinale;

MeSH hyponym : anterior longitudinal ligament; posterior longitudinal ligament; Anterior Longitudinal Ligaments; Ligament, Anterior Longitudinal; Ligaments, Anterior Longitudinal; Longitudinal Ligament, Anterior; Longitudinal Ligaments, Anterior; Ligament, Posterior Longitudinal; Ligaments, Posterior Longitudinal; Longitudinal Ligament, Posterior; Longitudinal Ligaments, Posterior; Posterior Longitudinal Ligaments;

MeSH annotation : spinal ligaments; LIGAMENTUM FLAVUM, a vertebral ligament, is also available;
