Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
My 16 yr old son just came and asked me to feel the back of his head because it doesn t feel right. So, I did and he has a dent about 3 fingers wide in the middle of the back of his head. I have been cutting his hair since he was a toddler and this dent is new. It feels soft but firm, I didn t want to push too hard. He says he can t remember hitting his head anytime recently. What could this be?
HI. This is very rare - finding such a soft dent without history of trauma. The only thing that can confirm is a clinical examination by neurosurgeon and confirmation by CT or MRI.
