Views: Skull AP (Supine) + Skull Lateral (Supine)
Institution: RIMS Super Speciality Hospital, Adilabad
Radiological Findings
AP View:
Calvarium bone density and architecture are within normal limits for age
No focal lytic ("punched-out") lesions suggestive of multiple myeloma or metastatic disease
No osteoblastic lesions
No linear, diastatic, or depressed skull fractures identified
Cranial sutures (sagittal, coronal, lambdoid) appear normal and appropriately fused for age
Normal vascular grooves visible - not to be confused with fractures
Orbital margins and zygomatic arches appear symmetric and intact
Nasal septum grossly midline
Frontal sinuses appear normally aerated
Soft tissues unremarkable; no scalp swelling or subcutaneous emphysema
Lateral View:
Inner and outer tables of the skull vault intact; no depressed or linear fracture
No classic punched-out lytic lesions; no osteoblastic lesions
Sella turcica - normal in size, shape, and configuration; anterior and posterior clinoid processes intact; no evidence of erosion or enlargement suggesting a pituitary mass
Paranasal sinuses (frontal, sphenoid, maxillary) appear normally pneumatized; no air-fluid levels or gross mucosal thickening
Cervical spine (C1-C5 visible): Mild straightening/loss of cervical lordosis (likely positional or muscle spasm); mild anterior osteophyte formation consistent with age-related degenerative changes; no gross subluxation or acute fracture
Prevertebral soft tissues within normal limits
Impression
No acute bony abnormality detected on plain skull radiography.
No skull fractures (linear, depressed, or diastatic)
Given the limitations of plain skull X-rays (significant structural superimposition), if there is:
Trauma - a non-contrast CT head is the gold standard to exclude intracranial hemorrhage and subtle fractures
Headache, neurological symptoms, or suspected mass lesion - MRI brain is preferred
Suspected skull base or facial bone pathology - CT with bone windows is indicated
