Indentation in top of head

[lynn1973]

I was really hoping for a suggestion as to why I may have developed an indentation in the top of my head. At first I thought I was crazy, and that it was impossible for that to happen, but over the last few months it seems to have grown and now anyone who feels the top of my head can easily feel it. It scares me, especially since my husband had brain surgery less than 2 years ago- (symptoms completely different of course) I am 35 years old, the only time I remember hitting my head really hard is when I was in elementary school and I fell and hit my head on a tile floor. I have had a history of passing out and having seizures but the doctors never figured out for sure what caused it and it hasn't happened for a few years. The best they came up with was blood sugar, and dehydration as a cause for those episodes, although I never had a MRI or anything of my head. I don't get pains from it, it may be a little tender if I press on the indent kind of hard. Is there any condition that would cause my skull to cave in? please help!

So sorry you all are going thru this and worrying yourselves so much, I too used to worry SO MUCH- that itself makes it so much WORSE for you. It will make you crazy. After not wearing glasses or sunglasses on my head anymore, taking more VIT D and eating healthier...my dents do not bother me anymore, I really cant even feel them anymore. I recently had several MRI and CT scans because of some severe blood pressure issues making sure I didnt have strokes and nothing abnormal showed up on my head. So, I feel so much better and haven't worried anymore at all.

I was not dropped on my head and have never had a head injury of any sorts.. it just appeared when i was 18 and has not gone away after 9 years just getting wider & deeper. I am constantly worrying about it and its all I think about. It has been 3 weeks now of constant headaches & a pressure feeling in my head, i have had these before in the last 12mo but never lasted this long. i feel tired all the time & have no energy despite me being on the highest thyroid med that i can take. im almost convinced there is something sinister going on underneath because i am just not me anymore, most of time i don't feel like im here in my head, im forgetting things all the time & becoming really light sensitive, my hair is thinning & last night im pretty sure i found some spots where my hair is almost gone. i think im going to go see a new doctor this week and demand another mri & ct scan or whatever else they can do because its making me crazy not knowing what the hell it is and having a name for it!

hello i am reading your posts i realized i had the dent in 10th grade i had an xray on my head done the dr told me that something interrupted the fusing process when i was an infant possibly most likely i was dropped on my head during this time. He told me not to worry for it did fuse enuogh so that my brain is covered but just i have a dip abot the size of my four fingers in the middle/back of my head and it is tender to touch so i just avoid touching it maby this will help you!

Hi everyone, I noticed an indent in my skull running from crown to the front of my head that is parallel to the center cranial line about 4 months ago.  It is about a finger width and definitely depressed.  I have been diagnosed with hypothyroid, fibromyalgia, arthritis, vitamin D deficiency, triglyceride deficiency, high cholesterol, diseases of my spine...I.e degenerative disc disease, hearth disease and I have also been diagnosed with "growths" on my thyroid but my endocrinologist said they are nothing to worry about, even though they have their own blood supply??  Anyway, I too wear my glasses on top of my head.  Someone mentioned Lyme disease but I am pretty much bed bound, do my symptoms sound like anything in particular when all bundled together?  I'm not taking my meds for my cholesterol, triglycerides, vitamin D, fibro or my heart as they are WAY too expensive, even with my insurance.....oh, and I am a 51 yr old female.  Any suggestions?

I'm glad I found this thread.  We've just discovered an indented "trench" on my 5-year old neice's head. It's about 4 inches long, about the depth of an adult finger. She is also losing her hair in a few patches. Her doctors thought alopecia. But they are stumped about this indentation.

We are so scared. She goes in for an MRI and sees a pediatric neurologist  in about 10 days.

I'm sure that's just your doctors cop out for not knowing. Many of us have seen doctors that have no clue.
