What Does An Indentation On The Forehead Indicate?

I am 72 and out of the blue about 6 mos ago I noticed an indention on my upper forehead at my hairline going into my hairline. Weird in the middle of forehead. Should I worry? Past couple of days left eye seems a little foggy. Husband said eye looks ok to him.

General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Hi,
Thanks for asking. I understand your concern .
Indentationon skull in midline could be due to-
-trauma or hit on skull.
-osteoporosis &weakness of bones with slightest of stress/strain on the bone.
-brodening of skull suture(sagital suture that passes vertically & mid line.... due to inadequate drainage of cerebrospinalfluid)
If you have head ache,neck pain along with the indentation.. I would suggest consultation of a nurophysician &get treatment as per need.
Thanks.
