I suggest also "signs of basilar skull Fx"
Any sign of basal skull fracture (haemotympanum, ‘racoon’ eyes,
cerebrospinal fluid otorrhoea/rhinorrhoea, Battle’s sign)"Dangerous mechanism"
Dangerous mechanism (pedestrian struck by motor vehicle,
occupant ejected from motor vehicle, fall from height >3 feet
or five stairs)
