Background And Aims: Emergence agitation (EA) is frequently encountered following nasal surgeries, and postoperative pain is a significant contributing element. We aimed to assess the role of suprazygomatic maxillary nerve (MN) block (SMB) guided by ultrasound (US) in lowering EA incidence and enhancing analgesia quality in septorhinoplasty cases.
Material And Methods: Sixty cases aged 18-60 years, of both genders, categorized by the American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA) I-II and listed for septorhinoplasty, were randomized to receive general anesthesia (GA) with either no block (the control group) or combined with bilateral US-guided SMB (the SMB group).

Background And Aims: Postoperative pain can impede functional recovery and delay hospital discharge after functional endoscopic sinus surgery (FESS). The study aimed to assess the efficacy of ultrasound (USG)-guided suprazygomatic maxillary nerve block (SZMNB) for postoperative pain in FESS.
Methods: Forty-eight adult patients between 18 and 65 years of age with American Society of Anesthesiologists physical status I and II and scheduled to undergo FESS were enroled in this randomised controlled study.

Even though epidural blood patch (EBP) is thought to be the definitive treatment for severe cases of postdural puncture headache (PDPH), it may be accompanied by complications like adhesion arachnoiditis, and cauda equina syndrome, especially if the injection is repeated. The sphenopalatine ganglion (SPG) block is a new minimally invasive technique for the treatment of PDPH, with variable results according to the clinical situation and deployed approach. We describe a case of PDPH resistant to EBP in which we successfully managed symptoms using ultrasound-guided suprazygomatic SPG block to deliver local anesthetic directly into pterygopalatine fossa, thus avoiding a second EBP.
