Xalatan Posted December 24, 2015 Share Posted December 24, 2015 (edited) Why not just use foremen rotundum to access pterygopalatine ganglion? Edited December 24, 2015 by Xalatan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Function Posted January 1, 2016 Share Posted January 1, 2016 My best guess would be that it's already occupied by the maxillary nerve (V2 < N. V, trigeminal nerve), since the round foramen itself isn't very large, I think. Exceptional is the jugular foramen, which holds passage for IX, X and XI, but that one's not very small so that doesn't form a genuine problem.
