A CT Base of Skull (Plain) is a non-contrast CT scan that captures detailed images of the bones, joints, and soft tissues at the base of the skull. This area includes important structures like the brainstem, cranial nerves, sinuses, and blood vessels.
This scan helps diagnose:

  • Fractures or trauma – Skull base injuries from accidents or falls
  • Bone abnormalities – Congenital defects or skull malformations
  • Infections – Sinus or bone infections (osteomyelitis)
  • Tumors or masses – Bone or soft tissue growths near the skull base
  • Degenerative changes – Age-related bone wear and tear
  • Ear or sinus disorders – Conditions affecting hearing, balance, or breathing

Since this is a plain (non-contrast) scan, it is ideal for assessing bone structures but may not provide detailed information about soft tissues, blood vessels, or tumors, which may require a contrast-enhanced CT or MRI
