What Causes Dents On Either Side Of Skull?

Im 18 years old and i have 2 dents on my head, one on the left side and one on the right. Ive had them for i think quite a while, all i really know is i had a habit of falling down stairs when i was younger and i used to get migraines, about 4 years ago i went to see a specialist for them and they said i would out grow them which i did, and during one of the visits they did a cat scan on my brain to make sure there wasnt anything wrong, test came out negative. Could falling down stairs cause my skull to have dents?

Hello,

Trauma in the childhood can cause dents in the skull. It is not disease condition and no treatment is required unless it cases disfigurement.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care
