Hello, My mom suffered a ruptured brain aneurysm last year, a shunt was installed and she is doing fine. She just pointed out to me tonight that the right side temple is indented. This is the opposite side from the shunt. She stated she doesn t have any pressure or pain associated with this. Is this something we should take her in right away to have looked at or just monitor? Thank you! Ann
Hello, This is not something to worry about on an emergency basis since there are really no symptoms to mention. The next time she has an appointment she can bring it up to the doctor who will advise her exactly what that indentation means which is likely a ridge or skull marking considered normal. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
