The scalp has a thickness of about 4 to 5 mm in adults. The tendon cap of the cranial vault is connected to the periosteum of the skull bones (pericranium) via loose connective tissue and thus allows a certain degree of mobility of the cranial vault - e.g. through the muscle tension of the epicranial muscles.

The arterial supply to the scalp is mainly via the temporal artery and the occipital artery.

Direct violence to the skull usually leads to head lacerations. The good vascularisation of the scalp ensures impressive bleeding in relation to the actual size of the wound. Scalp lacerations are treated surgically by suturing the wound.
Injuries to the scalp, such as lacerations caused by direct trauma, often result in significant bleeding due to the rich vascularization of the region, even for relatively small wounds. Treatment typically involves surgical suturing.
Swelling or hematomas of the scalp can occur due to perinatal injuries during birth or as a result of traumatic brain injuries. These conditions are classified by location:


Oedema or haematomas in the area of the scalp occur with perinatal injuries during birth or as part of a traumatic brain injury. Depending on the localisation, a distinction is made between

* Subgaleal hematoma: Between the epicranial aponeurosis and the pericranium

Definition

The scalp is a robust and highly resistant composite tissue made up of the skin, subcutaneous layer, and the epicranial aponeurosis, which is stretched over the calvaria.

Anatomy

The scalp in adults has a thickness of approximately 4 to 5 mm. The epicranial aponeurosis is connected to the periosteum of the skull bones (pericranium) by loose connective tissue, which allows some degree of mobility of the scalp. This mobility is influenced by the tension of the epicranial muscles.

Vascular supply

The scalp receives its arterial blood supply primarily from the temporal and occipital arteries. Venous drainage involves the superficial temporal, occipital, posterior auricular, and retromandibular veins. These veins communicate with the cerebral sinuses inside the skull through diploic veins, forming a connection between the external and internal venous systems.
