Morphological Description and Clinical Implication of Sphenopalatine Foramen for Accurate Transnasal Sphenopalatine Ganglion Block: An Anatomical Study.

Abstract

Transnasal sphenopalatine ganglion block is a commonly used approach for treatment of a variety of headache disorders. However, no standard technique has yet been defined for this less invasive approach. In this study, our aim was to investigate morphometric and anatomical features of the sphenopalatine foramen, and to describe a more efficient approach for transnasal sphenopalatine ganglion block.
