It was given by using Ropivacaine 0.5 %.30 ml (max.) to block supraorbital, supratrochlear, zygomaticotemporal,
Auriculotemporal, greater & lesser occipital, greater auricular nerves for better analgesia & perioperative Haemodynamic stability.
Frey's syndrome, also called gustatory sweating or
auriculotemporal syndrome, is a rare disorder that comprises of facial sweating and flushing of the parotid region initiated by gustatory stimulus.[43],[44] This condition is attributed to direct damage of the
auriculotemporal nerve.[45]
From an anatomical perspective, there are heterogeneous distributions of nerves in the external ear; the cymba is innervated by ABVN, both ABVN and the greater auricular nerve (GAN) are found in the cavum, and at the tragus, three nerves, ABVN, GAN, and
auriculotemporal nerve are observed at the tragus [10].
In this review, we aimed to summarize the regional anatomy and ultrasound-guided injection techniques for the commonly affected branches of the trigeminal nerve, including the supraorbital, infraorbital, mental,
auriculotemporal, maxillary, and mandibular nerves.
Further, the two roots of the
auriculotemporal nerve looped around it (Figs.
The inferior alveolar, lingual, mylohyoid, mental, incisive,
auriculotemporal, and buccal nerves are all blocked.1,11 Significant advantages of the Gow-Gates technique over IANB include its higher success rate, its lower incidence of positive aspiration (approximately 2% vs.
While assessing relationship of the lesions to surroundings; 25 lesions (34.2%) showed vascular encasement, 20 lesions (27.4%) showed facial nerve involvement, 10 lesions showed perineural spread "8 lesions (10.96%) through facial nerve and the remaining 2 lesions (2.74%) via the
auriculotemporal nerve branch of mandibular division of the trigeminal nerve", 2 lesions (2.74%) showed intracranial extension and 3 lesions (4.1%) were aggressive and showed bone invasion.
The young male was affected by an intraparotid lesion, which oddly did not derive from the peripheral portion of the facial nerve but instead originated from the
auriculotemporal nerve.
