C.Persistent trigeminal arteries can also originate from the posterior verticalsegment of the cavernous ICA and pass posteriorly through the posterior wall of the sinus to join the basilar artery between the origin of the superior and anterior inferior cerebellar arteries.D.The tentorial artery, or the artery of Bernasconi and Cassinari, is the mostinconstant branch of the meningohypophyseal trunk.

•The
meningohypophyseal trunk
usually arises from the posterior aspectof the central third of the posterior bendof the artery at the level of the dorsumsellae and frequently gives rise to threebranches: the tentorial artery(

)
,
the dorsalmeningeal artery, and the inferior hypophyseal artery.
