All of the following structures are in lateral wall of cavernous sinus except______________?

Correct answer: C. Trigeminal

  • A. Occulomotor
  • B. Trochlear
  • C. Trigeminal
  • D. Ophthalmic

Explanation

The lateral wall of the cavernous sinus contains cranial nerves III, IV, and the ophthalmic and maxillary divisions of V. The mandibular division does not enter it, so “trigeminal” is an imprecise label for the exception intended here.
