A member asked:
What is the correlation between the dent on my child's head and his silent seizures?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No correlation: Seizures are a condition of control of brain activity. Anomalies of the brain may cause funny dents in the child's head, but the dent is a result of the growth of bone, not the condition of the brain. The organization of the brain is the more important issue. This needs to be carefully assessed by a good pediatric neurologist.
