Loose areolar connective tissue layer

is the dangerous area of the scalp because pus or blood in it can spread easily.

infected blood from the scalp in diploic veins travel through emissary veins,
can be transmitted to cranial cavity connects with the intracranial venous sinuses may produce inflammatory processes in the emissary veins

thrombophlebitis of the intracranial venous sinuses and the cortical veins
