The connective tissue attachments to the cervical spinal dura mater originating from the
ligamentum nuchae (LN) and rectus capitis posterior minor (RCPM) muscle were evaluated …

There are inconsistencies between the descriptions of the physical connections between the
spinal cervical dura and the surrounding tissues. This study was undertaken to clarify the …

Study Design. The connective tissue structures in the posterior atlanto-occipital region were
investigated using E12 sheet plastinations and confocal microscopy. Objectives. To define …

Objective To describe previously unrecorded attachments of the ligamentum nuchae to the
cervical posterior spinal dura, and to posterolateral parts of the occipital bone in an …

Study Design. Systematic review. Objective. To elucidate the existence of soft tissue
connections between the neck muscles and cervical dura mater. Summary of Background …

BACKGROUND CONTEXT: In recent literature, a soft-tissue communication between the
rectus capitis posterior major (RCPma) muscle and the cervical dura mater has been …

A connective tissue link between the spinal dura mater and the rectus capitis posterior minor
muscle was first described in 1995 and has since been readily demonstrated via dissection …

Background: The spinal dura is anchored within the vertebral canal by connective tissue in
the epidural space as well as the spinal roots. Inadvertent disruption of these dural …

Few studies have been conducted specifically on the dense connective tissue located in the
posterior medial part of the cervical epidural space. This study was undertaken to examine …

The thickness of the dura mater in the human cervical spine can vary between individuals
and by vertebral level; these differences can result in various clinical outcomes. The purpose …
