I have a deep dent in the top of my head right at my hair line that goes back a few inches. This dent is an inch wide as well. It s pretty deep and I ve never hit my head that hard where this dent is. It s been a recent discovery and seems to get deeper or wider by the week. Should I be worried or does this happen to other people also?
In my opinion, the presence of depression on skull not associated with trauma should be evaluated properly. Some diseases cause loss of skull bone like myeloma, osteoclastic tumor, histiocytosis X, hormonal abnormalities. You need to undergo X-ray skull or preferably Ct head with bone window. Rest investigations may be planned accordingly if imaging comes abnormal. Wishing u good health.
