Determination of the intertubercularFig. 70. (After Braun.) recorder reaches the surface of the skin (Fig. 68). If no paresthesiasare obtained at that point, the needle is advanced cm. deeper beforeinjecting. The use of a depth recorder in the shape of a small piece of rubber,7 98 REGIONAL ANESTHESIA or cork, threaded on the needle, as first proposed by Braun, is a simple,easy, and rapid procedure, almost as accurate as the Offerhaus calipermethod (Figs. 69 and 70). When making intraneural injections of the mandibular nerve, eitherby the oral or extra-oral route, it frequently happens that the solutiondiffuses up to the gasserian ganglion, thus anesthetizing the whole areasupplied by the trigeminus. Anesthesia of the cornea in such cases
