Regional anaesthesia is emerging either as a sole anaesthetic technique or as a supplement to general anaesthesia in different surgical conditions. With increasing incidence of systemic illnesses coming for operative procedures, the value of addition of nerve blocks to a routine anaesthetic technique assumes more significance in terms of decreasing morbidity. Usually, the anaesthesiologists are familiar with abdominal, chest and extremity blocks. As ultrasound is not friendly with head and face with bony prominences, the progress in this field is further hampered. In this narrative review, we will try to elaborate on a few useful nerve blocks of the head and face; the importance of ultrasound in viewing those nerves in the bony gaps will be discussed. The use of such techniques as either a perioperative analgesic or as an independent anaesthetic method along with the precautions to be followed in their administration will be highlighted.
