What Causes Deep Indentation On The Skull?
A few days ago I noticed a rather deep indentation in the parietal area of my skull. I am a 55 yo woman and sure that I would have noticed this if it had always been there. I have not bumped my head or had any traumatic injuries. Nor is it painful and no headaches present. Should I have concern for this? I have read where dehydration could cause this. What is your opinion?

Hi ,Deep indentation in head could be due to skull lytic lesions caused by skull tumors and seconday involvement of skull from hematological conditions
Depressed closed fracture can be one cause (not possible in your case as ni h/o trauma)
I advise you to do X ray skull and CAT scan head ,CBC with peripheral smear and multiple myeloma workup. Thanks
