  • What Is the Cause of PCS Or Post Concussion Syndrome? Our Therapists Believe We Know and This Is How We Treat It
    What is the cause of PCS or Post Concussion Syndrome? Our therapists believe we know and this is how we treat it. Although it is a remarkably common condition, PCS has no universally agreed-upon definition. It is normally considered to be post to minor head injuries and is defined by the absence of objective Neurological findings. Symptoms can persist for months or years after injuries, and current data is unclear stating as low as 29 and up to 90 percent of head-trauma patients ‘may’ develop PCS. The US Centre for Disease Control describes PCS as a collection of signs and symptoms that occur after a head injury in four distinct categories and PCS is typically diagnosed when three or more of these signs or symptoms are present for three weeks or more. For concussion patients examination is necessary to rule out internal brain bleeds and PCS must also be differentiated from PTSD / post traumatic stress disorder, depression and fibromyalgia. Unfortunately any of these conditions can be present simultaneously and any one of them can make the other symptoms worse. Getting a concussion is bad enough by itself, the sickening shock to the head of something hitting you so hard that it rattles your brain, makes you feel nauseous weak and dizzy, it can darken your vision and focus to where you might momentarily blackout, vomit, or ‘go unconscious’. The symptoms should fade fairly quickly but what happens if they don’t? What happens if they continue for days, weeks, months even years? What you have now is PCS or Post concussion Syndrome.

This covers the main aspects of the muscles of facial expression, and will divide them into manageable groups. All muscles of facial expression are derived from the 2nd pharyngeal arch and are supplied by motor control by the Facial Nerve (CN VII). These muscles all insert into areas of the skin to control its movement.

Extent of scalp Anteriorly supraorbital margins. Posteriorly External occipital protuberance and nuchal lines. Each Sides Superior temporal lines. Layers Of Scalp The scalp is made up of five layers. S. Skin C. Connective tissue layer A. Aponeurosis L. Loose areolar tissues P. Pericranium 1 Monday , 15/10/2017 BY [ANATOMY OF THE SCALP] Dr. Hassa B. Jawad 1.Skin The skin is thick and hairy. It is adherent to the epicranial aponeurosis through the dense superficial fascia. 2.Connective Tissue Layer It is more fibrous and dense in the center than the periphery of the head. It binds the skin to the subjacent aponeurosis, and provides the proper medium for passage of vessels and nerves of the skin. 3.Aponeurosis Occipital frontalis muscles have two bellies, Occipitalis and frontalis, both of which are inserted in to the epicranial aponeurosis The epicranial aponeurosis or galena apponeurotica is free movable on the Pericranium along with the overlying and adherent skin and fascia. • Origin: It consists of four bellies, two occipital and two frontal, connected by an aponeurosis.

    Tikrit University College of Dentistry Dr.Ban I.S. head & neck anatomy 2nd y. Lec [3]/The scalp The scalp extends from the supraorbital margins anteriorly to the nuchal lines at the back of the skull and down to the temporal lines at the sides. The forehead, from eyebrows to hairline, is common to the face and scalp. The composition of the scalp is traditionally recalled from the five letters of the words that indicate its five layers: Skin; Connective tissue [The vessels and nerves run within this tissue which unites the first and third layers]; Aponeurosis with muscle at the front and back; Loose areolar tissue; and Pericranium. Skin, which is thick and hair bearing and contains numerous sebaceous glands. Connective tissue beneath the skin, which is fibrofatty,the fibrous septa uniting the skin to the underlying aponeurosis of the occipitofrontalis muscle. Numerous arteries and veins are found in this layer. The arteries are branches of the external and internal carotid arteries, and a free anastomosis takes place between them. Aponeurosis (epicranial), which is a thin, tendinous sheet that unites the occipital and frontal bellies of the occipitofrontalis muscle. The lateral margins of the aponeurosis are attached to the temporal fascia. The subaponeurotic space is the potential space beneath the epicranial aponeurosis. It is limited in front and behind by the origins of the occipitofrontalis muscle, and it extends laterally as far as the attachment of the aponeurosis to the temporal fascia. Tikrit University College of Dentistry Dr.Ban I.S. head & neck anatomy 2nd y. Loose areolar tissue, which occupies the subaponeurotic space and loosely connects the epicranial aponeurosis to the periosteum of the skull (the pericranium).

(PhD) THE SCALP The soft tissue covering the vault of skull is termed as SCALP Extent Anterior : Supraciliary arches. Posterior : External occipital protuberance and superior nuchal lines. Lateral : Zygomatic arch and upper border of external acoustic meatus, on each side. Layers of Scalp The soft tissues of the scalp are arranged in five layers: S : Skin C : Connective tissue A : Aponeurosis L : Loose areolar tissue P : Periosteum The skin and superficial fascia of scalp continue in front over the forehead and behind over the back of neck. 1. Skin: Skin of the scalp is thick and richly supplied with hairs, sweat glands and sebaceous glands. It has about 1,200,000 hairs. 2. Connective tissue: subcutaneous tissue consists of lobules of fat bounded in tough fibrous septae which form a very dense network. It is adherent to the skin above and to the underlying aponeurosis. Blood vessels of the scalp lie in this layer. Any injury here results in failure of the lumen of blood vessels to retract because their walls are adherant to the underlying connective tissue. As a result, lacerations of the scalp bleed profusely. LEC: 6 GENERAL ANATOMY By Dr. Haydar Munir Salih. B.D.S., F.I.B.M.S 3.

  • Haemorrhages from Head Injuries
    HAEMORRHAGES FROM HEAD INJURIES Hunterian Lecture delivered at the Royal College of Surgeons of England on 9th June 1955 by Milroy Paul, F.R.C.S. Professor of Surgery, University of Ceylon MY COUNTRYMEN HAVE been enrolled as members of this College for over seventy years now, and our long connection with the College greatly increases our appreciation of the privilege accorded me of delivering this Hunterian Lecture. INTRODUCTION My interest in head injuries dates from the time when, as a medical student, I read and re-read Wilfred Trotter's chapter on " The Scalp, Skull and Brain" in Choyce's System of Surgery (1923). The clarity of Trotter's descriptions and the brilliance of his conceptions of the genesis of head injuries made a deep impression on me. The haemorrhages of head injuries are easy to observe, and I became aware that there were some discrepancies between the features of these haemorrhages as I observed them, and as they are described in standard works on surgery. This stimulated me to observe these haemorrhages more closely, and to extend the observations which I could make in the wards and on the operating table, to the more complete examinations which are possible at autopsy. The many distinctive features characterising the haemorrhages from head injuries should have led to recognition of the factors controlling their onset and progress, but this expectation has not been realised, and there is still much that is not known in regard to the mechanics of these haemor- rhages. This study of the haemorrhages from head injuries is an inquiry into their origins, and of their modes of progress and of arrest.
