Brief Summary

This is a prospective randomized controlled trail comparing the effect of ultrasound guided intermediate cervical plexus block and scalp block versus local anesthetic infiltration and scalp block on hemodynamic response and peri operative analgesia in patients umdergoing excision of cerebellopontine angle tumors with retromastoid suboccipital craniotomy. Total of 60 patients will be recruited with 30 in each group, group C - patients recieving ultra sound guided intermediate cervical plexus block and scalp block and group I - patients receiving local anaesthetic infiltration and scalp block.
