Scalp wound: no gaping; epicranial aponeurosis may help hold margins together

Superficial wound

Scalp wound: gape widely especially if lacerated in the coronal plane because frontalis and occipitalis will pull in opposite directions

Deep wound

1. loose connective tissue layer is the danger area of the scalp 2. infections can pass to cranial cavity via emissary veins 3. limited by the epicranial aponeurosis

Scalp infection

A. Due to facial nerve impairment. B. Some major characteristics/symptoms: 1. Facial asymmetry. 2. Sagging corner of the mouth, which can lead to food and saliva collection. a. difficulty in chewing and drinking 3. Inability to whistle; inability to produce labial sounds 4.
