Auriculopalpebral nerve in Yak arises from the dorsal buccal branch of facial nerve. As it reaches in the temporal fossa it forms a superficial temporal plexus. The nerve then sends rami to the upper eye lid at the lateral canthus and to the lower eye lid. Five mL of 2% lignocaine hydrochloride injected, blocked the palpebral supply after 7.89±0.54 minutes of injection resulting into akinesia of the lower eye lid and hypokinesia of the upper eye lid towards lateral canthus. The motor reflex remained blocked for 125.55±4.12 minutes. The blinking of the eye lids resumed after 132.33±4.84 minutes
