Abstract
The sites for the supraorbital nerve block are controversial. To determine an accurate site, twenty camel heads were used for dissection and 5 apparently healthy camels were used for performing supraorbital nerve block. Results revealed that, the supraorbital foramen or canal is absent. The supraorbital nerve passed through the supraorbital notch in the middle of the dorsal orbital rim, and ended directly in the upper eyelid. Supraorbital nerve block was achieved by injection of 4-6 ml of 2% lidocaine at the level of the supraorbital notch.
