From: An anatomical and radiological study of the tectorial membrane and its clinical implications
Attachment of tectorial membrane (TM) in the clivus. H&E stain. (a) The superior clivus by longitudinal section. Aligned fibers of the TM are firmly interdigitating to the bone, indistinguishable from the superior crus of the cruciate ligament and the cranial dura mater. (b) Multiple layers of ligamentous structures in the inferior clivus demarcated by adipose tissues (asterisks) and vessels (arrows). Arrowheads dura mater layer, c clivus, TM tectorial membrane.
