Anatomy
The auriculotemporal nerve arises as a posterior division of the mandibular branch of the trigeminal nerve. It innervates the temples and the temporomandibular joint. The superficial branches supply the tragus and the auricle of the ear. Its proximal trunk is located superficially just anterior to the tragus.
The external ear innervated by four sensory nerves: greater auricular nerve, lesser occipital nerve, auricular branch of vagus nerve, and the auriculotemporal nerve.
- Cranio-cervical Dermatomes.[1]
Technique
Landmark Guided
- Position: patient seated and physician standing beside them, or with the patient supine and their head in a neutral position.
- Injection point is just anterior to the tragus
- Use a 5 mL syringe with a 30-gauge needle
- Insert the needle 1–2 mL into the subcutaneous tissue to a depth of about 4–6 mm.
- Aspirate to exclude arterial puncture and inject
