Cranial plate movement
by tcrombie, Feb 23, 2009 03:43PM
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?
