A 64-year-old male Is presented with dry eyes. Which ganglion is most likely to be affected?
Explanation
The pterygopalatine ganglion is most likely to be affected in a 64-year-old male presenting with dry eyes.
This ganglion is involved in the parasympathetic innervation of the lacrimal glands,
Which are responsible for tear production.
Dysfunction in this ganglion can lead to decreased lacrimal secretion and consequently dry eyes.
