Excision biopsy of a submandibular lymph node in superficial cervical plexus block: a case report

Mohammad Asim Bajwa

Abstract :

Summary: We describe a case of a 70–year–old hypertensive man who presented to hospital with swelling in the submandibular region. He successfully underwent an excisional biopsy of a lymph node in the neck region in superficial cervical plexus block. We review the literature for previous reports describing the use of regional anaesthesia during this type of procedure and discuss the advantages of regional over general anaesthesia.
