While it is quite feasibleto practice strictly regional anesthesia for the entire scalp by blockingthe supra-orbital nerves in front, the occipital nerves behind, and thetemporal nerves on the side by a line of anesthesia just above thezygoma, extending from the ear to the angle of the orbit and carrieddown to beneath the temporal fascia, thus rendering the entire scalp 476 LOCAL ANESTHESIA anesthetic. This procedure limited to one side produces an anesthesiareaching almost to the vertex, where the nerves of the opposite sidelap over. Such an extensive area of anesthesia is, however, not oftencalled for, while those parts supplied by the supra-orbital and occip-.
