Indentation in top of head

[lynn1973]

I was really hoping for a suggestion as to why I may have developed an indentation in the top of my head. At first I thought I was crazy, and that it was impossible for that to happen, but over the last few months it seems to have grown and now anyone who feels the top of my head can easily feel it. It scares me, especially since my husband had brain surgery less than 2 years ago- (symptoms completely different of course) I am 35 years old, the only time I remember hitting my head really hard is when I was in elementary school and I fell and hit my head on a tile floor. I have had a history of passing out and having seizures but the doctors never figured out for sure what caused it and it hasn't happened for a few years. The best they came up with was blood sugar, and dehydration as a cause for those episodes, although I never had a MRI or anything of my head. I don't get pains from it, it may be a little tender if I press on the indent kind of hard. Is there any condition that would cause my skull to cave in? please help!

whilst searching for possible answers I came across this article....https://www.hopkinsallchildrens.org/ACH-News/General-News/Finding-Success-with-Rare-Parry-Romberg-Syndrome?fbclid=IwAR3XComVwFdqNj5v6AkBAfCBAv6Qf2XfoUyC3HrmZlqhdKzytK8tf5zYxds

Wow, thanks for the info! I think you hit the nail on the head.
I looked it up and even though it seems to be acquired by younger people, it's possible that other things can cause it too so maybe it can affect older persons as well: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parry%E2%80%93Romberg_syndrome
I've had a long term tooth abscess, so maybe the chronic inflammation helped cause this for me. I just hope it doesn't go onto my face, my head I can manage.

[sarahstevie]

Hi Jenny, I had a tooth abscess too!!, back in August. The antibiotics didn't clear it up so  the tooth had to extracted.  This dent appeared in September time. I've had a skull xray  a few weeks ago and yesterday I collected the results - good news is that there is no bone loss. I wonder if the antibiotics affected my gut and caused a leaky gut. I'm doing everything to increase my immunity and to repair my gut lining. please keep me posted on any news.

[sarahstevie]

I too have a dent on my forehead, it appeared approx 8 months ago, it's oval shaped and approx 15mm wide. It's situated  above my left eyebrow but more to the left, nearer to my temple. I've had my bloods checked and also vit D - all of them are in the normal range. I'm off to see my GP in a few days time as I believe it's increased in size a little bit compared to when I first noticed it.  I thought a drop in estrogen might have been responsible (I'm perimenopause) but I'm not experiencing any other  estrogen deficiency symptoms,so if anything it's the opposite.  I've heard progesterone deficiency can cause bone loss too, which might be relevant in my situation. The only other thing I do, is clench my jaw during my sleep and I'm wondering if there is a connection as I've clenched so hard in the past that I've cracked a root filling! I promise I'll keep anyone  who's interested updated  - I'll report back as and when

[JennyMurdock]

Has anyone found the answer? I also have a dent, I didn't notice until I saw that there is also a bald patch. I'm taking seaweed for low thyroid, but I'm definitely not calcium or magnesium or phosphorous deficient.

[Lvs21]

Lynn. I too have the same thing any update?

[Lvs21]

Thought I was asking someone a question :/. I am almost 50. Month ago felt a dent in my scalp like right down my part line.  Had X-ray came back normal now off for mri. Blood work normal.  

[sarahstevie]

any developments?

[WhodunnitV]

Reading this forum has put my mind at ease & I can now avoid a lot of expensive tests.  Perhaps it’s just a sign of aging.  I’m a 41 year old female and have never had any head trauma, don’t suffer from headaches and my two nearly developed parallel dents in the top of my head don’t hurt.  I thought I had caught some sort of skull collapsing disease but it must just be how some people age.

[WhodunnitV]

Meant to say NEWLY developed, not nearly...

[Lvs21]

Anything new with that dent. I have one too little freaked out about it. Going for mri next week

[Arlagriffin]

I was concerned over my indents as well, but come to find out I am a sunglassses on top of my head person.   The collagen separates to allow for the groove of glasses!  

[EnidFire]

Google CVG Scalp

[aentzel]

Thank you!  That is hopeful.

[aentzel]

Does anyone have a diagnosis?  Please?! I have two recent dents on top of my head--symetrical along the top of my head.  No pain, but I am beginning to get headaches feel light headed and am terrified.  Just went to the doctor and will be getting blood work tomorrow but I'm worried to see no diagnosis anywhere here!

[gill339]

This happened to me 25 years ago. First noticed by regular hairdresser. Mine sounds much the same. I never went to G.P and am still trucking along  but have no idea what caused it!

[still_here]

do u still have it? I have 2 that have grown. Dermo called it cvg.

[aentzel]

What does CVG stand for?  I am being sent to the neurologist and dermatologist after blood work came back fine.  I am getting headaches not and am sleepy, too.  Did you have these symptoms, still_here?

[still_here]

I have like pressure on temples and behind eyes. Hearache at sides of upper skull. Not continuous but often. I worry often that it could be temporal arteritis..been to several drs but they don't know about everything.
Cvg stand for cutis verticis gyrata..

[still_here]

Have them check for high inflammation. If so, ck into cvg

[aentzel]

i also have pressure behind my eyes and headaches at the sides of my upper skill that are not continuous but often.  So, you've been diagnosed with CVG and nothing else?  How are they treating CVG? Do you get sleepy often?  Light headed? What did the MRIs show?  

[still_here]

Nothing. They just gave me that diagnises, well my Dermo did and assured me it was nothing to worry about. But will plan on Goin back to my gp, who said it was cysts, don't blev that. But these symptoms if eye aches and side of head aches and upper cheeks ache at times. I want them to ck me for high inflammation and if I have that I want them to check me for TEMPORAL ARTERITIS. Seems that symptoms of it. If and when I do this I will keep u informed. You do same if u will..hopefully, will get this solved. I know I find myself holding tension in my face. Could possibly be tension as well. I'm trying to notice if I'm on computer and reading alot on real achy days that eyes ache..will c.

[still_here]

Yes iv dealt with being sleepy. Went thru a spell of awful dizzy spells. That ended up I think being from my eustation tube dysfunction
Stopped when I started on flonase (generic) nose spray my ent put me on...

[aentzel]

I will let you know what I find out as I get testing done.  I will have health insurance in Sept and will see a neurologist and derm get an MRI.  I feel like maybe a biopsy is needed, too?  I feel light headed throughout the day, too.  All of these symptoms came on very suddenly for me, so I agree temportal arteritis may be a lead, though it seems to affect older people.  How old are you?  I'm a 39 year old female.

[still_here]

I am 60 female..so am at that age. Yes it does seem to hit the older...possibly not it, hope not, but what else?..flonase spray has really helped me with light headedness and dizzy..

[lyiahs]

Has anyone gotten any other answers possibly? I don’t know if I should be worried. I didn’t realize how long this post has been. I got a decent size dent at the top/crown area in my skull. I have never gotten this checked out. Should I be worried?

[still_here]

I also have tworked good size o es at the crown of my head as well. My ENT said it's cutis verticis gyrata. .

[still_here]

Sorry, phone types what it wants. I also have two pretty good sized dents at crown of my head...

[lyiahs]

Do you know what caused it? I used to horseback ride and hit my head pretty hard from time to time. The only time I truly remember really hitting my head really bad is when I was like 7 and I tried to do a flip off my aunts bestfriend where she held my hands and I would walk up her legs and then kick my legs back over. Anyways, sorry had to describe that to you. I got my head sooooo hard on tile floor and I remember like having serious pain and immediately started crying. But other than that I’m like worried it’s caused by something else. I know for a fact I can never ever go bald cuz I’d look like so type of weirdo thatbdoesnt have a round parietal bone. I feel like pressure get stuck in my head and face a lot too. Is their any treatments you know of?

Sorry it’s a lot. I’m just worried about it.

[still_here]

I totally understand all you're saying. I can't remember I'm sure as a child I've had lots of Knox and bumps and even as an adult I fell back on my head once but and hit a hard floor but I don't truly believe that has anything to do with it. Did you research that cutis verticis that I mentioned above. My ENT said that it really isn't that serious at all. I do get the pressure that you speak of as well at times. But I just keep going about my everyday life and just not worrying about it. Sometimes it will feel like it does when you've had a ponytail in your hair for a long time? And you take it down and it feels kind of sore that is how mine will sometimes feel. I've had so many head issues of late but it's been going on for a few years so I just put it down to just a lot of stress and eating habits Etc. Try not to worry I have seen on here where people have had this stuff like this for 20 years so try not to worry. Try to curb your intake on salt like chips Etc and drink lots of fluid. Take care

[Paulskelly]

Hi Lynn. I have my indentation in the same place as yours. How is it exactly 10 years on since your post.  

[Julie0405]

Have just noticed the same dent soft spot and worried, after reading posts I realized that I where my hair up every day with a clip in the exact spot an some times often I fall asleep with it still in??

[napperr]

my daughter had 2 dents on either side of her .. she was delivered by forceps. I only first noticed them when she was 5 or 6 years old. that was 55 yrs. ago. you know we have a lot of muscle/tissue that covers our heads. So, maybe, as we get older and or lose weight, the dents become more apparent.

[IamWandaful]

I believe that there is something going on that this is affecting so many. I have to ask the question "why is it that so many people are affected, yet doctors don't know anything about it?" I remember when I was first diagnosed with fibromyalgia. I suffered with it for years before the diagnosis. The ONLY reason my doctor even knew what it was is because he was officially told about it at a conference he attended. Before that many doctors told us it was all in our heads. Now it actually have a name. I believe studies are being done of this very subject as it is now mushrooming. All of a sudden thousands of people are getting this dent in their heads without injuries. Keep a stiff upper lip. In the meantime, ask for blood tests check in abnormal levels of aluminum and barium. Those are the chemicals that have been reported being dropped in the form of chemtrails.

[JJIrwin]

I have fibromyalgia as well as a head invention and had blood work to check for heavy metal toxicity and and it came back normal. I have chronic migraine headaches sometimes for several days and degenerative joint and disc disease so life is pretty rough. It has already caused a divorce and some trouble in my current relationship because of the amount of time I spend in bed. I don’t feel up to playing with my grand children and my daughter resents it. I don’t have any answers but I sure wish someone did.

[WilliLou]

I am 79 years old, working and still very active....79 is the new 49. However I recently developed the same ridge in my skull to the right of center and another lessor one to the left of center. It seems to be deeper at some times than other but no pain at all. I was panicking until I read all of these others comments. It seems strange that with so may of us having the same symptoms, the medical community is clueless about the cause. Go figure!

[still_here]

I am thinking salt causes the difference in size. Iv noticed when I eat heavy salt such as chips etc. the ridge seems to get larger.

[still_here]

Got the same symptoms and then some. Iv now got eye aches and temple pain. Waves like feelings in my head, just don't feel right in the head..

[Nbajam]

I also have a soft indention on top back of head about 1 inch across I also get occasional headaches. and when I bend over my face feels like pressure is building up had it for about 3 years any ideas?

[Liztish1]

I have the same exact thing! Have you gotten any answers?

[mcull1960]

I recently found e indentations on the top of my head like a soft spot. I'm really scared about this but actually feel a little better knowing that I'm not the only one. Any ideas on what it might be?

[frebyrd]

After reading all the comments, which well exceed 490, logic would seem to point to some natural process occuring as a result of something else. Such as dehydration or VitD3 deficiciency

[onlaed]

your headache, indent,and your other symptoms are cause by using wireless devices and being to EMF and RF signals stop using them.

[Elisac4k7]

HOw?

[frebyrd]

I had a indentation appear towards the front and center of the top of my head. It could be traced down to the top of my forehead and it was very tender to touch. I also have been severely Vit D3 deficient. One other thing I considered was the possibility of dehydration.

[still_here]

Have been on Vit D for over a year..I drink plenty if water most days. The feelings going on in my head are very uncomfortable and am sure stress isn't helping. Beginning to get headaches on top of head as well as eye aches and a aches in temple.indent or ridge whatever u call it at crown of my head. Really wish we had answers. This has got me so stressed..

[Silviads65]

I am going through the same as you and the pain and the feeling is getting horrible!! I think we better look for a neurologist!! I take anti anxiety and it helps a little...

[Shanie1230]

Hey Lynn, I,myself have a huge dent at the back of my head ever since I was a few months old, my mom told my cousin to babysit me while she cook and my cousin put me  on a sitting position on a very high table and I fell and hit my head very hard on the concrete and I wouldn't stop crying, my head was swollen and I guess that's how I got the dent . I am now 28 years old and I am fine I would usually have migraine headache on a regular basis but now it seems fine. All I can advise you to do is eat healthy ,don't take stress and pray to ALMIGHTY God and everything will be fine ok take care all the best

[Shipmate68]

I had the same issue. I had all sorts of tests ran. Nothing ever came of it. I found one post that was helpful.  I wear glasses. I would put my glasses on my head. The poster stated she did the same thing. I made a point of not putting my glasses on my head and after 2 years I can say that the indent that was 1/2 inch deep at times, disappeared in 2 weeks and I have not had the dent since. I would wear the glasses on my head in the same spot but the indent went about 3 inches from that spot. Hope this helps some

[Vava79]

Thank you,we will try this.do you have new dents?

[Vilma2114]

Hi I have indentations in my skull. English is not my first lenguaje, so I hope I can write properly the things I want to say. I am 36. I noticed them a few days ago. I was terrified, I thought my head was opening haha! So I asked to my father who is a surgeon . He told me that he has indentations too. And so his mother. It's weird. And they never felt nothing, no migrain, nothing. He doesn't know about the name of this condition , but it's real and it's not dangerous.

[LauraLynne2329pm]

I have the same thing! I first noticed it when I was 12/13 years old, so in 2008. I'm almost 21 now & I've noticed its been very tender around it recently. I got an MRI done in Feb of 2016 & they never commented on the indent(found out I have a demyelinating disease tho). I've been looking thru other reports of this & found this to be very commonly reported in 2008/2009. I didn't think anything of it until a few weeks back when it became a bit tender. If anyone has any comments on what they have I'd be highly appreciated. I don't eat High in vitamin a... I do eat a high protein diet & just shortly after it became tender I went vegan(for lent).

[Tone96]

Have anyone found out any ways to get rid of the dent ?

[laneymmm]

Take your sunnies off from on top of your head.... that's what caused mine!!! Hope yours is too...

[Jhooke21]

Wow, this forum is so interesting to me! I was training a client and felt an itch on my head not thinking of it, then felt a long narrow indent as if the cracks in my skull were divided and swollen. After feeling it, it started burning.. so naturally I looked it up to validate my crazy and found this. The vit d / calcium deficiency sounds interesting. Im going to add to this forum and say Im supposed to start my menstrual cycle today/tomorrow and that Im 31. Most have posted and said theyve been in their 30s or on a special diet. Missing nutrients may go hand in hand! Ill add some d and calcium and see if it helps, otherwise Ill go to the doc. Ill save this forum and home you have found some answers Lynn!

[Greghere]

Did more vitamin d help?

[mcull1960]

Did you found out what it was n did the vitamin D n nutrients work for you?

[M1llerTim3360]

I have something similar to this as well and Am in a state of worry about it. I'm 22 years old and the last time I really had a major head impact was maybe months ago back in September but I felt fine afterwards and days later. It feels like there is like a bump or ridge on the top left side of my head just above the scalp line. I am worried that this is an enlarged artery or something serious. I can kind of feel it at the same point on the other side of the head but it isn't as bad or large as on the left side. It doesn't hurt to the touch but again it just doesn't feel right to me at all. Sometimes I do get migraine headaches but idk if that's due to light sensitivity or looking at a screen for long periods of time. Sometimes when I'm sitting down at work, and suddenly stand up and stretch, I also get a sudden head rush and sometimes I feel light headed but when I lean over, everything goes back to normal. Again idk if light sensitivity has to do with it but it's an odd symptom. I also have recently been diagnosed with a deviated septum along with polyps and blockage in the nose. As well as a enlarged lymph node of the left side of my neck that I had for a while (shrinking now though) could these factors be the cause of what is going on on the left side of my head? I've been trying to get an answer for this on here and no response. A response would be appreciated to ease my stress about this.

[laneymmm]

Me too.... so stressed until I realised my sunglasses on the top of my head caused it! Migraines, dizzy the world! It's almost back to normal now...
