From the case:
Normal Waters view skull x-ray
{"current_user":null,"step_through_annotations":true,"access":{"can_edit":false,"can_download":true,"can_toggle_annotations":true,"can_feature":false,"can_examine_pipeline_reports":false,"can_pin":false},"extraPropsURL":"/studies/71573/annotated_viewer_json?_c=1709887380\u0026lang=us"}
Normal transparency of the maxillary and frontal sinuses, no sign of opacification (which would suggest sinusitis). No apparent bony abnormality (note: this exam is completely obsolete in the context of trauma).
Structures of the skull are listed below:
{"current_user":null,"step_through_annotations":true,"access":{"can_edit":false,"can_download":true,"can_toggle_annotations":true,"can_feature":false,"can_examine_pipeline_reports":false,"can_pin":false},"extraPropsURL":"/studies/133529/annotated_viewer_json?_c=1709887380\u0026lang=us"}
There are four McGrigor-Campbell lines. Any step deformity in the lines would indicate a fracture of that particular facial bone.
Case Discussion
Negative Waters or occipitomental view of the skull.
