While on a bus traveling north from Leticia in the Colombian Amazon you encounter a woman who asks you for your saliva.

  Foramen Spinosum

  Stylomastoid Foramen

A patient has been complaining of tooth pain in his upper jaw for the past 2 weeks. Upon doing a full interview, you learn that your patient was born with a congenital condition known as situs inversus. He also has karatgener's syndrome and is infertile. He says his whole head feels heavy, his face hurts, and he has been somewhat congested as well. As a recent Ross graduate, you know that the upper row of teeth is innervated by the superior alveolar nerve, a branch of the maxillary nerve, but you recall your Anatomy Professors warning you differentiate face and tooth pain from something else. Given the history of the patient, what is he most likely suffering from?

  Damage to Internal Nasal Nerve
- B.
  
  Damage to Lesser Palatine nerve
- C.
  
  Infection of Sphenoidal sinus
