Editor—Nerve block guided by high-speed real-time computed tomography (CT) fluoroscopy is a well-established technique, especially for mandibular nerve and Gasserian ganglion block. 1 2 For mandibular nerve block, however, we typically use the lateral approach instead of the anterior approach to avoid the complications of inappropriate intraoral insertion.CT scans are usually performed with the CT beam vertical to the bed, which requires that the needle be inserted vertically into the patient along a guiding line from the CT. On this CT section, however, the direct approach from the skin to the foramen ovale is impossible because of the skeletal structures overlying the route; therefore, the needle must be inserted 1 mm caudal on the CT section because the mandibular nerve is considered to be located immediately caudal to the foramen ovale in the posterior margin of the lateral pterygoid plate. In the present study, we evaluated the efficacy of our new approach to the foramen ovale
