PainExam Show Notes: Mandibular Division of the Trigeminal Nerve Block with Dr. David Rosenblum Introduction
  • Host: Dr. David Rosenblum
  • Topic: Mandibular Division of the Trigeminal Nerve Block for Cancer Pain Management
  • Techniques: Ultrasound and Fluoroscopic Guidance
Overview
  • Purpose: Alleviate chronic facial pain, specifically in cancer patients suffering from trigeminal neuralgia or other related conditions.
  • Focus: Detailed discussion on the anatomy, clinical presentation, and procedural techniques for effective nerve block.
Anatomy of the Mandibular Nerve
  • Origin: Mandibular nerve is a branch of the trigeminal nerve (cranial nerve V).
  • Pathway: Exits the middle cranial fossa through the foramen ovale and descends between the lateral and medial pterygoid muscles.
  • Sensory Innervation:
    • Anterior two-thirds of the tongue
    • Teeth and mucosa of the mandible
    • Skin of the chin and lower lip
    • Skin over the mandible (excluding the mandibular angle)
    • Tragus and anterior part of the ear
    • Posterior part of the temporalis muscle up to the scalp
Ultrasound-Guided Technique
  1. Patient Positioning:
    • Patient lies on their side with the affected side facing upward.
  2. Transducer Selection:
    • Curvilinear transducer preferred for deeper structures.
  3. Transducer Placement:
    • Place distal and parallel to the zygomatic arch to bridge the coronoid and condylar processes.
  4. Anatomical Landmarks:
    • Identify the lateral pterygoid muscle and plate.
    • Use power Doppler to locate the sphenoid palatine artery.
  5. Needle Trajectory:
    • Introduce the needle using an out-of-plane approach to target the pterygopalatine fossa (anterior to the lateral pterygoid plate).
    • For the mandibular nerve block, target the area posterior to the lateral pterygoid plate between the medial and lateral pterygoid muscles.
  6. Electrostimulation (Optional):
    • Utilize a 22G, 10 cm insulated short beveled needle connected to a peripheral nerve simulator.
    • Position confirmed by motor response from the temporalis and masseter muscles.
Fluoroscopic-Guided Technique
  1. Patient Positioning:
    • Similar to ultrasound guidance, patient lies on their side with the affected side facing upward.
  2. C-arm Positioning:
    • Position the C-arm to visualize the foramen ovale.
  3. Needle Insertion:
    • Insert the needle under fluoroscopic guidance towards the foramen ovale.
  4. Contrast Injection:
    • Confirm needle placement with contrast injection.
  5. Anesthetic Administration:
    • Administer local anesthetic and/or neurolytic agents.
Clinical Symptoms and Diagnosis
  • Symptoms:
    • Unilateral sharp, stabbing, or burning pain in the mandibular nerve distribution.
    • Pain triggered by activities such as eating, talking, washing the face, or cleaning the teeth.
  • Diagnostic Imaging:
    • MRI or CT scans to identify causes like vascular compression, mass lesions, or fractures.
Complications and Considerations
  • Potential Complications:
    • Bleeding, hematoma, infection, and hypersensitivity reaction to the injectate.
    • Serious complications from neurolytic agents like permanent sensory deficit and tissue necrosis.
  • Alternative Treatments:
    • PNS? Radiofrequency or cryoablation for recalcitrant cases.
Conclusion
  • Efficacy: Ultrasound and fluoroscopic guidance provide precise targeting of the affected nerves, minimizing collateral damage.
  • Safety: Routine use of power Doppler imaging to avoid injury to surrounding vessels.
  • Recommendation: Consider these techniques for patients unresponsive to oral medications or unsuitable for surgery.

These show notes provide a comprehensive overview of the discussion, highlighting key points on the anatomy, technique, and clinical considerations for mandibular nerve blocks in cancer patients.
