The depression in the middle of forehead may be local skin atrophy, which will lead to the depression in the middle of forehead. In this case, it is recommended to go to the hospital for some corresponding examinations.
It is also possible that the abnormality of skull development is congenital or acquired, which leads to the abnormality of this part of skin or skull. In this case, we must be alert to whether the skull grows inward, compressing brain tissue and nerves, resulting in increased intracranial pressure and partial neurological impairment. It is suggested that some corresponding examinations can be done in the hospital, and head CT can be done. If the symptoms are serious, surgery should be considered.
A few dents on the forehead are caused by abnormal skull development, and most of them are concave fractures caused by trauma.
Because skull dysplasia generally has no symptoms caused by brain parenchyma compression, it generally does not require special treatment; A few patients with large area, deep depression and high intracranial pressure need surgical treatment because of compressing brain parenchyma.
The depressed fracture caused by trauma needs surgical treatment, because it is often accompanied by epidural or subdural hematocele. If there is no brain parenchyma compression, no special treatment is needed. The depression is greater than 1cm or less than 1cm, and it is compressed in the functional area, resulting in symptoms and requiring surgical treatment.
