Fallopian ligament
Also known as:
Fallopian arch
Poupart's ligament
Poupart's inguinal ligament
Associated persons:
Gabriele Falloppio
François Poupart
Description:
A fibrous band forming the thickened lower border of the aponeurosis of the external oblique muscle between the anterosuperior spine of the ilium and the pubic tubercle.
This ligament is more commonly known as Poupart's ligament, because Poupart gave it a new significance in relation to hernia, describing it as suspenseurs de l’abdomen in 1695.
