Which of the following is false regarding blood supply of dura mater?
Correct Answer: Meningeal branch of ICA in posterior cranial fossa
Description: (a) Meningeal branch of ICA in posterior cranial fossaRef: Grays Anatomy, 41st ed., pg, 439 and Snell's neuroanatomy, 7th ed., pg. 475-477In the anterior cranial fossa, the dura is supplied by the anterior meningeal branches of the anterior and posterior ethmoidal and internal carotid arteries and a branch of the middle meningeal artery.In the middle cranial fossa, it is supplied by the middle and accessory meningeal branches of the maxillary artery, a branch of the ascending pharyngeal artery (entering via the foramen lacerum), branches of the internal carotid and a recurrent branch of the lacrimal artery.In the posterior fossa, the dura is supplied by the meningeal branches of the occipital artery (one enters the skull by the jugular foramen and another by the mastoid foramen), the posterior meningeal branches of the vertebral artery, occasional small branches of the ascending pharyngeal artery, which enter by the jugular foramen and hypoglossal canal, and the dorsal meningeal and tentorial arteries arising from the meningohypophysial trunk.
