title: The nasal: paranasal block technique. Preparation and uses.
abstract: A new technique for removing nasal: paranasal blocks at autopsy is described. The technique allows the removal of these cavities without disfigurement of the head after the brain has been removed. The importance of the technique in relation to training on endo-nasal micro-surgery, and histopathological study of nasal and paranasal disorders is emphasized.
