However, in reality ocular complications and facial nerve palsy are practically unheard of when they occur they can be extremely unnerving not just to the patient but also to the surgeon. Patients generally panic which makes it tougher for the clinician to assess the situation.

Key Words: Diplopia, Dental nerve block, Ophthalmic complications. |
