Topics of the lesson: Cerebral cranium. Division into parts: cranial vault (calvaria, cranial fornix, skullcap or dome) and cranial base. Frontal-parietal-occipital region, temporal region: its borders, layers, blood vessels, nerves, lymphatic drainage. Blood supply to the soft tissues of the cranial vault. Cellular spaces (a.k.a subfascial cellular tissue) and their connections with cellular spaces of neighboring areas. Bone structure of the cranial vault. Diploicveins. Mastoid region: borders, layers, blood vessels, nerves. Triangle of Chipault. Facial nerve pathways. Meninges of the brain: dura mater, arachnoid mater, pia mater. Intermeningeal spaces: epidural, subdural, subarachnoid. Dura mater: its sinuses and connection with extracranial veins. Middle meningeal artery. Projection of structures on skull?s interior surface: arteria meningea media, dura mater sinuses, main sulci and gyri of cerebral hemispheres, brain?s ventricules (using Kronlein-Brusov?s scheme). Blood supply of the brain: Circle of Willis. Cerebral spinal fluid production and lymphatic drainage. Trepanation of the skull (a.k.a. making a burr hole). Trepanation of the mastoid process. Management of hemostasis in patients with head injuries.
