The paper is a continuation of the cycle of articles about the importance of structures the fascia planes for regional anesthesia. This article builds on the general part and deals with fascia planes and spaces in the neck area. The main neural vascular bundle passes between the surface and the deep fascia of the head towards the fuselage. Detailed knowledge of the fascial spaces makes it easy to understand the distribution of local anesthetics and minimizes the possible complications of unwanted Central blockades, vegetative and motor nerves.
