New Dents in Skull: Have memory loss with atypical facial abnormality

@crystalclear Hello and welcome to Mayo Connect.
Most of us have "dents" in our foreheads where the bones join, they just aren't very noticeable.
What did you mean by "atypical facial abnormality"? Is this a diagnosis from a doctor, or a reference to your bone structure?
Also, how recent is your memory loss, and have you seen a doctor about it? Have you had a recent illness or started a nedication that may be affecting your memory?

Sue,
Thank you for reaching out to me. This all started one morning a few months ago. I woke up with tremors and could hardly stand. I went to the ER and they told me my blood pressure was very high. They did a CT scan of my head and found a “dead spot” in my brain. I was sent to a neurologist who noticed the atypical facial abnormality. I have had this a long time. I think it is muscle related. I have had memory loss for a long time also. I would say three years on both the facial abnormality and memory loss. The neurologist did a memory test on me and put me on a medication for memory loss.
The dents in my forehead are new. I’ve never noticed them before. This is why all this concerns me.
Thanks again for the reach out Sue,
Crystal
