"The petrosphenoidal ligament runs from the petrous apex to just below the posterior clinoid process on the lateral border of the upper clivus 1,2,3. It courses immediately superior to and perpendicular to the abducens nerve (CN VI) 3."
"The ligament has previously been known as the petroclinoid ligament (ligamentum petroclinoideum) but it actually does not have attachment on the posterior clinoid process 4. The alternative name per Terminologia Neuroanatomica, is the superior sphenopetrous ligament (ligamentum sphenpetrosum superius)."
