What Causes A Small Vertical Indentation On The Top Of The Head?
hello, I noticed about three days ago a small vertical indentation on the top of my head. It actually seems to get larger and smaller throughout the day. I have found the more I touch it the deeper it gets. It is not painful at all. I get random headaches (sinus). I am a 53 yo woman.
Hello ! Thank you for your question on HCM! I think that this may be from your birth. You should know that the bones of the scull are divided and get fused after 12 months of life. During the fusion , there may be imperfections and cause indentations in the fusing sites. I think that it has been there for a long time and you may have not noticed this. Another argument in favor of this, is that you don't have pain. But I would recommend to consult with your GP, have a full blood work ( for hematological problems or inflammation) and a scull x ray in two positions. Hope to have been of help! Thank you for using HCM! Greetings! Dr. Abaz Quka
