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

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

Hi @crystalclear, I added your question to the Brain & Nervous System support group.
As @sueinmn's questions suggest, a new dent or bump you notice in your skull can indicate a serious medical condition. This is the type of symptom that should be checked out by a doctor, especially if the shape of your skull appears to change suddenly.
Have you talked to your neurologist about these recent dents you found? I'd like to know what you learned from your doctor.
