Cranial plate movement

Cranial plate movement

I had a cranioplasty above my right frontal lobe several years ago.
With thinning skin from the forehead to the crown, the titanium connectors
have become more noticeable. My concern is an encaved area the size of
a pea about 2 cm. above the right eyebrow. What started as a stream of
spider veins has settled as if a combination of CSF and blood blister.
MRIs show no hole in the plate to allow activity from the inner side.


I have seen a dermatologist, 2 neurosurgeons, and a neuro-oncologist
about this spot with the same opinion: "keep an eye on it for changes in
size." All have ruled out a form of cancer.

Has anyone ever worked with such a case?

I am a recipient of left frontal lobe epilepsy surgery. Just had it done. I have had one seizure since leaving the hospital after 7 days. I was a bit slow in the speech department and the memory isn't what it used to be (short term is a little damaged) I have a question though the scar that was left is like a fish hook as I have heard it been described. But I have recently found that my skin and skull move in a place where it didn't before. I have heard it click. Is this something I should be worried about? Is it a titanium plate?
