route of infection spread from scalp to intracranial structures
emissary veins drain to IC structures
DCT veins drain to ext / int jugular veins
route of infection spread from orbit to intracranial structures
ophthalmic veins (x valves therefore free movement of blood etc) drain orbit > facial vein ophthalmic veins > cavernous sinus > IC structures
