Suggest treatment for memory loss and lump on the head
Patient: I have developed two indentations and a lump on the top of my head. The left one is getting longer - started off at approximately 1 in long and is now 2 and a half and is starting to go past my hairline. I don t experience headaches but have periodically experienced memory loss. I have had a ct scan which showed nothing and have recently had an mri scan which has showed nothing except a small cist in the sinuses. should I be worried. I have seen a neurologist, a neurosurgeon and a plastic surgeon. I am 53 could it be something to do with hormones and/or diet. I have also experienced considerable weight gain in the past 15 months which is when these indentations started Doctor: Hello!Welcome on Healthcaremagic!Your symptoms could be related to vitamin D deficiency. The indentations could be related to a lack of calcium. For this reason, I would recommend consulting with your doctor and checking your vitamin D levels. It would be advisable to check also your thyroid hormone levels, to exclude possible thyroid gland dysfunction. A follow up with your neurologist every 6 months, by performing cognitive tests is necessary to investigate for any possible dementia. Hope you will find this answer helpful!Best wishes, Dr. Aida
