Q

Explain the motor innervation to thee face

A
  • motor portion of the facial nerve (CN VII) exits the skull via the stylomastoid foramen (*innervates stapedius muscle inside skull)
  • gives the following extracranial branches before coursing anteriorly and entering the substance of the parotid gland:
  • posterior auricular n. – to auricularis posterior m. and occipitalis m.
  • branch to posterior belly of digastric m. and stylohyoid m.

• The rest of CNVII innervates the muscles of facial expression (5 branches)

Pericranium
34
Q

Describe the scalp proper of the skull

A

Scalp Proper
‣ first three layers are intimately attached
‣ Skin – contains hair follicles
‣ Connective tissue (dense) - connects skin to aponeurotic layer
‣ Aponeurotic layer - contains occipitofrontalis m.

35
Q

Describe the loose connective tissue proper of the scalp

A

Loose connective tissue
‣ facilitates movement of the scalp proper over the calvaria (facilitates scalp removal)
‣ ‘Danger zone’ - infections can easily spread through this layer to emissary vein and cranium

36
Q

Describe the pericranium of the skull

A

‣ the periosteum on the outer calvaria fuses at the
Emissary v.
suture lines

37
Q

What are extracranial swellings?

A
  • type, based on where the swelling is located
  • due to fluid accumulation or ruptured vessels (as
    may be seen during vaginal deliveries)
  • usually non-life threatening and resolve with time
    (no pressure on brain)
38
Q

What are the types of extracranial swellings?

A
  • Caput succedaneum
    • soft superficial swelling just under the skin
    • visible from time of birth
  • Subgaleal hemorrhage
    • hemorrhage between the aponeurotic layer
      and periosteum
    • develops few hours after delivery
    • can involve large amount of blood

Cephalohematoma

  • hemorrhage between the periosteum and bone
  • usually appears within 24-72hrs after delivery and may take weeks to resolve
  • does not cross suture lines since periosteum fuses (confined to individual bones)

44
Q

What are the consequences of CN VII lesion?

A

UMN (upper motor neuron) lesion of CN VII: sparing of ‘forehead’ muscles’

LMN (lower motor neuron) lesion of CN VII: entire half side of face is paralyzed

Bell’s palsy is a LMN lesion of CN VII which is temporary and should not be able to be traced to a cause other than a possible viral infection

LMN lesion of CN VII: Orbicularis oris muscle not working; drooling, can’t whistle. Orbicularis oculi not working; tearing (lesstearing when GPN is also affected), cannot close eye, reflexes that have CN VII as efferent reflex arc are affected.

Operations in neck where platysma is located: when closing the skin pay attention to the platysma; needs to be approximated to avoid a gap/dimple post surgery.

Degloving operation for removal of meningioma, access to pituitary gland, and other brain surgery. Coronal incision in the hairline, SCAL pulled forwards, opening into the skull is made for access.
