Abstract

Majority of neurosurgical procedures are performed under general anaesthesia. It is still possible to perform some of the procedures under regional anaesthesia like scalp block. It involves blocking the nerves that innervate the scalp. The technique is easy to perform, but the practitioners should be aware of possible complications because of closer relation of blood vessels with nerves. Despite various advantages over general anaesthesia scalp block is not practiced routinely. This article reviews the relevant anatomy and technique of scalp block.
