A patient sustains a laceration to the scalp and develops a subgaleal haematoma that spreads rapidly across the entire calvarium. Which tissue plane allows this haematoma to spread so freely?

Select the correct answer

A. The dense connective tissue layer, which contains the emissary veins communicating with intracranial sinuses1

B. The loose areolar tissue layer, which offers little resistance to fluid spread and extends across the entire cranial vault2

C. The plane between the galea aponeurotica and the dense connective tissue, which is disrupted by frontalis muscle contraction3

D. The pericranium, which is loosely adherent to the outer table of the skull and easily elevated by haematoma4

E. The subdermal plane within the skin, which communicates bilaterally via superficial temporal vessels5
