Hi,I am Dr. Gopal Goel (Orthopaedic Surgeon). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
What Can Cause Porous Skull And Grooves On The Forehead?
I was told by a neurologist that I have a porous skull. On my forehead at the hairline I developed grooves about 2 years ago. Yesterday I noticed the length of the grooves has gone from 1 inch to about 4”. There are more further back on my scalp. It is raised over 1/2” between the grooves. What do the grooves and being porous mean for me?
Hello, Thanks for the query. Degenerative causes has to be looked for. Consult a neurosurgeon and get evaluated. A CT head may be required for further assessment. Wishing all the best. Thanks
