Knightwarrior, Ferari, Saonew: Simple Anat Qn - question

[ArchivalUser]

A new intern is witnessing an internal ear surgery. When the surgeon is trying to locate internal auditory meatus, he asks the intern which is the best way to locate the internal auditory meatus
a) Through the wall lenghths, where anterior wall of the internal auditory canal is shorter than the posterior
b) Through facial and vestibulocochlear nerves in the internal auditory meatus
which are best identified using T1 weighted MRI
c) The crista falciformis divides the internal auditory meatus vertically
into two compartments making it easier to locate.
d) Locating the lamina cribrosa which would be at the medial end of the internal auditory
meatus
e) Locating cerebellopontine angle and then find facial and vestibulocochlear nerves which may form a single bundle as they cross the cerebellopontine angle cistern

Please try answering the Qn with some explanation. I heard these are the types of questions they are testing on exam now.

Good luck guys.

I know for sure that ferari can never answer this Qn if this appered in exam. Sao would try but the answer would be questionable...

My answer is E, because all other are either wrong (options A C D)or does not make a practical clue on the operating table (option B).

Desire I am sure you are right.
