Misra LEARNING OBJECTIVES THE SCALP Lesions of the scalp are often not apparent due to the presence of hair, so parting the hair will enable a closer inspection. Look for any congenital malformations, characteristic facies, prominences, lumps, nodules, scars, rashes, areas of seborrhoeic dermatitis, naevi, hair loss or other lesions. Look for facial asymmetry, involuntary movements and the presence, absence and symmetry of oedema and wrinkling. Palpate the scalp to identify any tenderness or deformity. Scalp lesions superficial to the galea aponeurotica can be moved, and move with the skin when the patient voluntarily contracts the frontalis or occipitalis muscle. Any lesion deep to the galea aponeurotica or invading it and the adjacent pericranium will remain fixed with no movement. Capillary malformations appear as a red-purple skin discoloration. Venous malformations appear as swellings that can be emptied, as can other fluid-containing communicating swellings such as meningoceles. A sinus pericranii (a haemorrhagic cyst of the intracranial dural venous sinus) also shows this sign. It appears as a soft swelling in the midline, usually on the occiput, contains blood instead of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) and communicates with a venous sinus through a defect in the skull. A sebaceous cyst (Figure ) is the most common swelling of the scalp. It is a retention cyst of a hair follicle, is often multiple (Figure ), is round and is attached to the overlying skin. The contents are cheesy in nature, non-fluctuant and firm on palpation. A punctum is usually visible in the centre of the cyst. 319 • To elucidate and understand the pathophysiology of the lesion involved • To construct
