Q

Why are the emissary veins so clinically important?

A

Because they drain from outside of the skull (cranial cavity) and have no valves, they can therefore be a conduit through which infections can enter the cranial cavity

Q

What happens in the extra dural space during an extradural haemorrhage?

A

This potential space between dura and bone can become a fluid filled space when there is rupture of a meningeal artery or a torn dural venous sinus.

Q

What happens in the subdural space during a subdural haemorrhage

A

Bleeding due to the tearing of a dural venous sinus can result in this space forming inbetween the innermost layer of the meningeal dura and the arachnoid mater.

Q

What are the layers of the scalp?

A

Skin
Connective tissue (dense)
Aponeurosis
Loose connective tissue
Pericranium

74
Q

What does the dense connective tissue in the scalp contain?

A

Arteries,veins and nerves that supply the scalp

75
Q

What does the aponeurotic layer of the scalp consist of ?

A
  • Occipitofrontalis muscle
  • Epicranial neurosis tendon connecting the frontal and occipital belly of the occfipitofrontalis muscle
76
Q

What is the function of the occipitofrontalis muscle?

A

Move the scalp, wrinkle forehead and raise forehead

77
Q

What is the occipitofrontalis muscle innervated by?

A

Frontal belly - Temporal branch of the facial nerve
Occipital belly - Posterior auricular branch

78
Q

How is the loose connective tissue of the scalp clinically important

A

Can facilitate the localisation and spread of infections

79
Q

Describe the gross innervation of the scalp

A

Anterior to ears and vertex
- Innervated by branches of the trigeminal nerve
Posterior to ears and the vertex
- Cervical nerves, specifically branches from spinal levels C2 and C3

80
Q

Which arteries supply the scalp?

A

Branches of the external carotid artery and the opthalmic artery (branch of internal carotid artery).
NB. specific branches of arteries follow same pattern as veins

81
Q

Which veins drain the scalp?

A
  • Supratrochlear and supra orbital veins drain ANTERIOR scalp
  • Superficial temporal vein drains LATERAL scalp
  • Posterior auricular vein drains scalp posterior to ear
  • Occipital vein drains POSTERIOR scalp
82
Q

Why do scalp lacerations bleed so profusely?

A
  • Supplied by external carotid arteries
  • Dense connective tissue holds the vessels open so more blood exits
83
Q

What anatomical feature means that epidural anaesthesia injections can be administered?

A

Lack of periosteal layer of dura mater in vertebral column therefore there is an epidural space that anaesthetic can be injected into
