Evaluation of temporal muscle trophism in relation to the manipulation time and infiltration of 0.5% isobaric bupivacaine through a pterional approach.

CONCLUSIONS: The manipulation of the TM during a pterional approach conditioned an impact on the quality of life according to the disfunction indexes, due to atrophy. This investigation exhibits that de administration of 0.5% bupivacaine during surgery offers a decrease in the TM atrophy. PMID: 30975560 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
