Conditions

Health Condition 1: G978- Other intraoperative and postprocedural complications and disorders of nervous system

Interventions

Intervention1: ultrasound guided scalp nerve block in supratentorial brain surgery: at the end of surgery ,after skin closure,scalp block will be performed.following nerves will be blocked bilaterally
the auriculotemporal nerves will be blocked with 2 ml of solution injected 1.5 cm anterior to the ear at the level of tragus (the 23G needle will be introduced perpendicular to the skin and injection
the zygomatic temporal nerves will be blocked midway between the supraorbital and auriculo-temporal nerves by using 2 ml of solution with a 23G needle
the postauricular branches of the greater auricular nerves will be blocked by 2 ml of solution using a 23G needle between the skin and bone 1.5 cm posterior to the ear at the level of tragus
the greater, lesser and third occipital nerves will be blocked with 2 ml of solution using a 23G spinal needle with infiltration along the superior nuchal line, approximately halfway between the occip
