Voorbeelden van ligamentum

• It is often joined by the ligamentum arteriosum (or patent ductus arteriosus) where it forms the descending aorta.

• The ligamentum is divided and two vascular clamps are placed on the junction of the left arch with the descending aorta.

• The structures that are compressing the nerves (usually ligamentum flavum and herniated disc) are then trimmed until the nerves are free from compression.

• The ligamentum teres hepatis turns around the inferior marging of the liver to come out ventral in the falciform ligament.

• The investing portion of the fascia is attached behind to the ligamentum nuch and to the spinous process of the seventh cervical vertebra.

• It covers the inferior limit of the epidural space and is analogous to the ligamentum flavum found at other levels in the spine.

• Classic examples of these mechanisms are a hepatic tear along the ligamentum teres and injuries to the renal arteries.

• The blood supply to the femoral head and neck is enhanced by the artery of the ligamentum teres derived from the obturator artery.
