Anaesthetists may also be involved in managing patients experiencing chronic and intractable facial pain.

Designed for both consultants and trainees with an interest in this area, chapters cover the anatomy, pre-assessment, difficult airway, regional anaesthesia, imaging and all clinical aspects for complex area.
