    Study Notes

    Scalp Anatomy, Arteries, Veins, and Clinical Implications

    • The scalp has potential spaces that can develop into real spaces in pathological conditions such as infection or injury.
    • The scalp proper can move freely over bone and is affected by the contraction of the occipitalis muscle.
    • The scalp is innervated anteriorly by the supratrochlear and supraorbital nerves from the ophthalmic division of the trigeminal nerve (V1).
    • Posteriorly, the scalp is innervated by the lesser and greater occipital nerves.
    • Arteries of the scalp include the supratrochlear and supraorbital arteries, superficial temporal artery, and posterior auricular and occipital arteries.
    • Veins of the scalp include the supratrochlear and supraorbital veins, superficial temporal vein, posterior auricular vein, and occipital vein.
    • The scalp has anastomoses with diploic veins and dural venous sinuses through emissary veins.
    • The scalp is highly vascular and prone to severe bleeding due to its rich blood supply and the presence of connective tissue septa and aponeurosis.
    • Infections in the loose connective tissue layer of the scalp can easily spread, posing a danger especially in the area lacking fibers.
    • Infections or fluid in the scalp layer can spread anteriorly towards the eyelids and root of the nose, or into the cranial cavity through emissary veins.
    • The cranial meninges are three layers of connective tissue that protect and surround the brain and spinal cord, providing support for cerebral arteries and enclosing cerebrospinal fluid.
    • The three layers of the cranial meninges are the dura mater, arachnoid mater, and pia mater, with the subarachnoid space containing cerebral arteries and cerebrospinal fluid.
