Subgaleal hemorrhage, also known as subgaleal hematoma, is bleeding in the potential space between the skull periosteum and the scalp galea aponeurosis (dense fibrous tissue surrounding the skull)

ganglion connected to maxillary nerve

*contains postganglionic parasympathetic and sympathetic fibers along with general sensory fibers of the maxillary nerve.
*These three types of fibers leave the ganglion as orbital, palatine, nasal and pharyngeal branches.
*is the largest of the parasympathetic ganglia
*ganglion supplies the lacrimal gland, paranasal sinuses, and other structures.

—by sending postganglionic sympathetic fibers through the short ciliary nerves, which then directly innervate the blood vessels within the eye, primarily affecting their constriction and dilation to regulate blood flow; essentially, these fibers travel through the ganglion and reach the eye’s blood vessels to control their diameter via neurotransmitter release.

The styloid process of the temporal bone gives rise to three muscles: the stylohyoid, stylopharyngeus, and styloglossus:

Stylohyoid: Attaches to the hyoid bone

Stylopharyngeus: Attaches to the pharyngeal wall

Styloglossus: Attaches to the APEX of the tongue, and helps draw up the sides of the tongue to help with swallowing

These muscles work together to lift the aerodigestive tract upward and backward. The styloid process also helps move the tongue, pharynx, larynx, hyoid bone, and mandible.

142
Q

‘slipped disc’. Mechanism

A

posterior part of the annulus fibrosus ruptures (owing to relatively thin) & then the nucleus pulposus protrudes posteriorly into the vertebral canal or intervertebral foramen mostly passes lateral to the posterior longitudinal ligament (paracentral disc) causing compression of the transiting nerve root

A

L4/5, L5/S1, or in
the neck C5/6 or C6/7.

144
Q

• With L5 lesion there will be weakness of ankle dorsiflex-
ion and big toe extension. There will be numbness over
the lower and lateral part of the leg and medial side of
the foot.
• With S1 lesion ankle jerk may be diminished or
absent, there will be weakness of the evertors of the
foot and there will be numbness over the lateral side
of the foot.

145
Q

What is cauda equina syndrome.

A

• Direct posterior prolapse of the disc (central disc pro-
lapse) may compress the cauda equina, giving rise to
cauda equina syndrome.
• Cauda equina syndrome causes compression of the
sacral outflow, saddle paraesthesia, reduced anal
sphincter tone, reduced bladder coordination, painless
retention and overflow, loss of anal reflex and bilateral
leg symptoms. It is a surgical emergency.
