:shock:
A 20-year-old man visiting Europe dives into a secluded natural pool. He later develops meningoencephalitis
localized to the base of his brain. The causative organism is found to be the free-living amoeba, Naegleria
fowleri. Which of the following structures did he probably damage during the dive?
A. Cribriform plate
B. Lacrimal bone
C. Mandible
D. Nasal bone
E. Zygomatic bone
