One of the common complications of the block is extraoral hematomawhich occurs because of the needle penetration to far posteriorly placing it in the vicinity of pterygoidplexus of veins, maxillary artery resulting in probable inadvertent nicking of the vessel causing effusion ofblood into the surrounding soft tissue resulting in swelling and discoloration.
