  • aging wrinkles are perpendicular to muscle fibers
37

40
Q

Blue Box: Scalp Infections

A
  • blood/pus spreads easily in loose connective tissue
  • infection can pass into cranial cavity via emissary V’s
  • infection can’t spread into neck or laterally past zygomatic arches
  • infection CAN spread to to eyelid and root of nose
  • eyelid skin is the thinnest of the body and highly susceptible to accumulation of fluid
41
Q

Blue Box: Sebaceous Cysts

A
  • develop when gland ducts around hair follicles retain secretions
  • cysts move w/scalp bc they’re in the skin
42
Q

Blue Box: Cephalohematoma

A
  • difficult birth may cause rupture of multiple periosteal A’s that nourish calvarial bones
  • usually over parietal bone
  • bleeding b/c pericranium and calvaria
43
Q

Blue Box: Flaring of Nostrils

A

-habitual mouth breathers may have lost or diminished ability to flare nostrils

44
Q

Blue Box: Infraorbital Nerve Block

A
  • work on maxillary incisors
  • injection near infraorbital foramen at junction of oral mucosa and gingiva
  • careless injection could cause temporary paralysis of extraocular muscles or inadvertent injection into a blood vessel
45
Q

Blue Box: Mental and Incisive Nerve Blocks

A
  • to suture a lacerated lip
  • anesthetize skin and mucous membrane of lower lip and chin skin
  • injection into area of mental foramen, blocks mental N.
46
Q

Blue Box: Buccal N. Block

A
  • anesthetize skin and mucous membrane of cheek

- injection into retromolar fossa

47
Q

Blue Box: Trigeminal Neuralgia

A
  • middle aged and elderly
  • sudden, excruciating pain, lasts 15 or more mins
  • V2 frequently involved
  • set off by touching “trigger zone”
  • demyelination of axons in sensory root
48
Q

  • widespread anesthesia
  • -anterior half of scalp, face, cornea and conjunctive
  • -paralysis of muscles of mastication
  • -mucous membrane of nose and mouth
  • -anterior 2/3 of tongue
49
Q

What would happen if the facial N. had a lesion near the pons or proximal to the origin of the greater petrosal N. (proximal to geniculate gangltion)?

A
  • loss of motor functions
  • loss of gustatory
  • loss of autonomics
50
Q

What would happen if the facial N. had a lesion distal to the geniculate ganglion, but proximal to chorda tympani?

A
  • loss of motor functions
  • loss of gustatory
  • lacrimal gland NOT affected
  • loss of salivation by submandibular and submental glands
51
Q

What would happen if the facial N. had a lesion near the stylomastoid foramen?

inflammation near stylomastoid foramen

53

A 
dental manipulation
pregnancy
vaccination
HIV
Lyme Disease
otitis media
56
Q

Blue Box: Compression of Facial A.

A
  • can be occluded by pressure against mandible where vessel crosses it
  • numerous anastamoses, so wounds bleed freely, but heal quickly
57
Q

Blue Box: Scalp Lacerations

A
  • bleed profusely, can be fatal
  • A’s don’t retract bc dense connective tissue holds them open
  • occipitofrontalis M. spasms cause gaping
58
Q

Blue Box: Squamous Cell Carcinoma

A
  • cancer cells from central part of lower lip, floor of mouth and apex of tongue drain into submental lymph nodes
  • cancer cells from lateral parts of lower lip drain into submandibular lymph nodes
59
Q

Blue Box: Infection of Parotid Gland

A
  • mumps is painful b/c investing layer of deep fascia resists swelling
  • severe pain when chewing b/c the gland wraps around posterior border of the ramus of the mandible and gets compressed against mastoid process when mouth is open
60
Q

Blue Box: Parotid Gland Disease

A

-pain in auricle, external acoustic meatus, temporal region and TMJ

–b/c auriculotemporal N. and great auricular N. send sensory to parotid gland AND to skin over temporal fossa and auricle

61
Q

Blue Box: Abscess in Parotid Gland

A
  • could be from gland and/or duct itself

- could be from abscess of dental origin

62
Q

Blue Box: Sialography of Parotid Duct

A
  • radiopaque fluid injected into duct by cannula through orifice of duct inside cheek
  • demonstrates parts of duct system that are displaced/dilated by disease
63
Q

What could block the parotid gland?

A

-a calculus (calcified deposit)

64
Q

Blue Box: Mandibular Nerve Block

A

-injection near mandibular N. where it enters the infratemporal fossa

  • injection through mandibular notch
  • -anesthetizes the auriculotemporal N., inferior alveolar N., lingual N. and buccal N.
65
Q

Blue Box: Inferior Alveolar Block

A
  • injection around mandibular foramen
  • -mandibular teeth, skin and mucous membrane of lower lip, labial alveolar mucosa and gingivae, and chin skin

-problems: may inject parotid gland or medial pterygoid M.

66
Q

Blue Box: Dislocation of TMJ

A
  • heads of mandible dislocate anteriorly
  • -mandible remains depressed, can’t close
  • careful during surgical procedures
  • -facial N. and auriculotemporal N.
67
Q
