PURPOSE: Although a maxillary nerve (MN) block reportedly provides satisfactory analgesia for midface surgery and chronic maxillofacial pain syndromes, a safe and reliable MN block technique has not been reported. The goal of this anatomical study was to quantify the various angles and depth of the block needle, as well as to evaluate the impact of volume on the extent of injectate spread that might influence anesthetic coverage and block-related complications.
METHODS: Following an ultrasound-guided suprazygomatic MN block with dye injection, a dissection was performed in the pterygopalatine fossa (PPF) of four lightly embalmed cadaveric specimens. Half of the specimens were injected with 5 mL of dye, and the other half with 1 mL of dye. The needle depth was measured from the ultrasound images and using rubber markers. Following injection, dissection was performed to map the area of dye spread.
RESULTS: The median [interquartile range (IQR)] distance from the skin to the PPF was 37 [36-43] mm and 47 [40-50] mm by ultrasound and rubber marker methods, respectively. The median [IQR] needle orientation was 14 [11-32] degrees inferiorly and 15 [10-17] degrees posteriorly. The PPF was consistently dyed in the 5 mL group, but sporadically dyed in the 1 mL group. In the 5 mL group, spread outside of the PPF was seen.
CONCLUSIONS: We showed that 5 mL of injectate far exceeds the capacity of the PPF, leading to drug spread outside of the PPF. Moreover, we found that 1 mL of injectate largely covered the nerve, suggesting a more efficacious and safer block procedure. This finding will need confirmation in future clinical studies.
