A member asked:
Infraorbital nerve. is the foraminotomy possible at that place in order to release compressed v2 nerve ?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Infraorbital nerve : This nerve is decompressed during orbito zygomatic procedures...I guess if you were having pain in that area that it could be done. Make sure your condition isn't from trigeminal neuralgia from vascular compression of the 5th cranial nerve at the brain stem not orbit. Seek consultation from a neurologist or vascular neurosurgeon.
