    • Despite reduced usage, skull radiography remains a relevant diagnostic tool in specific clinical scenarios.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To emphasize the continued importance of accurate skull X-ray interpretation.
    • To highlight the potential adverse effects of misinterpreting normal skull X-ray findings.

    Main Methods:

    • Review of current radiological practices and indications for skull radiography.
    • Analysis of potential diagnostic pitfalls in skull X-ray interpretation.

    Main Results:

    • Skull X-rays are reserved for select indications requiring specific bony detail.
