The tip of the dens should lie not more than 8 mm above the plane from the hard palate to the occipital convexity (McGregor’s line). ) 2. Bone: The vascular markings off the middle meningeal artery should not be confused with a fracture line. (4) (Fig. 1-5D) Fractures are better seen on plain film rather than CT studies. The sclerotic density of the skull base may mimic bone pathology.
