Thanks for all your updates Rowena. It is greatly appreciated.
I have made an appointment with my Doctor for early next week to discuss further.
That is good news then that there is nothing wrong with my bone structure and it is subcataneous.
I have a feeling it may be all stress related from prolonged stress levels.
Also, is it possible the more I prod and poke at my skull the more dents seem to appear? If I press hard and keep on touching my head can I make my own dents form? Or is it just all in my mind and I am just being to paranoid.
Thanks.
Hi Des,
The CT scan results showed that there was nothing wrong with your brain and no infection was present. The visualized osseous structures, which pertains to the skull/ bone, was also unremarkable which may suggest that the dents present may be subcutaneous in nature. Discuss this with your doctor for further evaluation. Take care always.
Hi Rowena,
I got the CT scan results today and I checked what the Radiology doctor wrote on the report.
The findings were as written:
'The cerebral brain parenchyma shows preservation of the grey/white matter differentiation. No acute intracranial haemorrhage, large established infarct, mass effect, midline shift, hydrocephalus or effacement of the basal cisterns is seen. The brain stem and cerebellum are unremarkable.
The visualised osseous structures, paranasal sinuses and mastoid air-cells are unremarkable.
No significant intracranial abnormality is seen.'
I haven't seen my GP about it yet so I am not sure what all those terms mean but it looks like there is nothing wrong at all with my brain/head internally.
I don't think the scan can check for the dents though right? with the skull bone structure?
So, this rules out there is nothing wrong with my brain but still doesn't explain the skull dents on my head.
All I worry about is that the dents wont occur again to other places on my head especially to the front where it will be physically visible. My head is already a shaved hairstyle so all new dents especially the ones on the side is pretty clearly visible.
Thanks for all your help and advice.
Des.
Hi,
How are you? Good to hear that the CT scan was already done. Hope to hear from you soon for the result of the scan. Take care!
Thanks for the quick reply Rowena.
Went in for the CT scan today and should get results tomorrow.
Will keep you updated.
Hi,
infection would definitely be ruled out with the previous blood tests done. Dents in the skull do not usually occur since the skull is a very strong bone that do not change in shape easily. I also recommend imaging studies such as a CT scan to determine if there is any brain pathology present with these dents and ease any anxiety. Take care and do keep us posted with the CT scan result.
