Q

When there is a scalp injury (i.e., being scalped), how is it possible for a person to fully heal with the vasculature intact?

A

The neurovascular supply of the scalp is from inferior to superior, so if the top layers of the scalp are ripped off then the neurovasculature is still intact and can supply the remaining areas. We can reapply and suture the scalp and reattach vessels.

A

Bell’s Palsy
