A case is presented where reversible abducens nerve block accompanied second and third division trigeminal block with bupivacaine on two occasions. Intra‐orbital injection through the inferior orbital fissure most likely took place. Careful positioning of the needle and limitation of the drug volume is mandatory for therapeutic trigeminal nerve blocks with neurolytic solutions.
