fasciculi longitudinales ligamenti cruciformis atlantis
[TA] longitudinal fasciculi of cruciform ligament: vertical midline longitudinal fibers that, together with the transverse ligament of the atlas, form the cruciform ligament of the atlas. The fibers arise in two groups from the root of the dens; one group extends cranially to the anterior margin of the foramen magnum and the other proceeds caudally to the body of the axis.
