What Causes Headaches Along With Weird Indent In The Middle Of Head

Hi, I have a 9 yr old son who has a weird indent across the middle of his head, it has been there for a long time and just today he is telling me he gets headaches once in awhile there, he is very focused, grades are good, behavior is great, and developmentally he is above average, what are my concerns?

Hi...I do not think the indentation along the middle of his head is the reason for this headache. The indentation should have been there since birth and need not be worried about. But I consider this headache to be a stress related one or a migraine. Unless he has other associated symptoms like vomiting, loss of consciousness or seizures, uprolling of eye balls or pupillary disturbances you need not worry about headache.
