FACTS & HINTS
High-Yield Facts
Clinical Points
Scalp lacerations
Scalp has rich blood supply
Bleeding from scalp lacerations often profuse, because blood enters peripheryof scalp and vessels anastomose Because of dense connective tissue in second layer of scalp, bleeding vessels do not retract into wound but stayopen Patient can exsanguinate if bleeding is not controlled
Bleeding controlled initiallybydirect pressure initiallyfollowed bysuturing in layers rather than tying individual vessels
Clinical Points
Blood or infections in the scalp
Blood or pus from an infection collects in loose connective tissue Can spread easily
Prevented from passing into the neck or subtemporal regions, because of attachments of the epicranial aponeurosis Fluid can descend into orbits because orbitalis muscle attaches to skin in this region
Orbital hematomas commonlyoccur following injuryto the scalp
Clinical Points
Facial palsy(Bell's palsy)
Facial nerve palsywithout a known cause
Can follow exposure to cold, dental work, Lyme disease, or otitis media Results in inflammation, compression, or edema of the nerve
Facial nerve supplies muscles of facial expression
Thus result is loss of facial muscle tone on the affected side Symptoms generallyseen:
Paralysis orbicularis oris causes drooping of mouth on affected side and dribbling of saliva
Paralysis of orbicularis oculi causes eyelid to droop and evert, leaving cornea inadequatelylubricated and eye constantlytearing Paralysis of buccinator together with orbicularis oris leads to accumulation of food between cheek and teeth when chewing
