8. =Examination of Face.= When the anterior flap of the scalp is carried down to the edge of the orbits and half-way across the lower jaw as advised above for the removal of the temporal bone, the _parotid_ region may be examined. The _upper_ and _lower maxillary bones_ are best examined after the removal of the neck-organs. A transverse incision is made in the skin of the neck low enough to be concealed by the clothing, and connecting with the longitudinal scalp-incisions. The facial flap is then dissected upward with great care as far as the infraorbital edges, exposing the maxillary bones, from which the soft parts must be so carefully removed that restoration of the face can be made. For the examination of the anterior nasal-cavities the upper lip must be separated from the bones. II. POINTS TO BE NOTED IN SECTION OF HEAD. 1. =Scalp.= Note wounds, hemorrhages, inflammations, scars, parasites, neoplasms, number and location of bleeding-points on section, color of different portions, adhesions to periosteum or cranial bones, etc. Most common pathologic conditions are wounds, hemorrhages, wens, lipoma, squamous-celled carcinoma, syphilis, tuberculosis, favus, pediculi, tricophytia, angioma and round- and spindle-celled sarcomata. The temporal muscles should be examined for hemorrhages, œdema, purulent inflammations and trichinæ. The postmortem hypostasis of the back of the head should not be regarded as pathologic. 2. =Periosteum.= Subperiosteal hemorrhages, purulent infiltrations, adhesions, indurations, chronic inflammation with new-formation of bone, and neoplasms are the most common pathologic conditions.
