What Does A Lump Behind The Head Indicate?
Dear Doctor, Recently I observed that I can feel small bump with pulse on the back of my head aligned a little towards left from the center. Is it normal? (I fell down on my back a week back and had no injury) Only 3 days back, when I went for CT scan of my head and neck portion to rule out any injury during the fall, I observed the pulse. Doctors here tell that pulse on my head and the accident are not related. Please let me know whether the pulse I have is normal phenomenon. I have no pain in that area

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
The lump nearing midline on back can be a serious cyst (mostly nonharmful condition). And if it is there on a blood vessel, it can be pulsating.
Consult a surgeon to get examined and confirm the diagnosis.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Vasudha Jayant Athavale
