Foramen Ovale

* Mandibular nerve (the third branch (V3) of the trigeminal nerve)
* Accessory meningeal artery (small meningeal or parvidural branch, sometimes derived from the middle meningeal artery)
* Lesser superficial petrosal nerve (note: the lesser superficial petrosal nerve sometimes passes through a special canal (canaliculus innominatus of Arnold), situated medial to the foramen spinosum)
* Emissary veins (from the cavernous sinus to the pterygoid plexus)

The contents of this foramen neatly form the acronym 'MALE'.
