Complications of Temporal Lobectomy occur in about two percent of patients, but less serious complications happen more often. Once such complication is skull indentations...which you are experiencing. But as it's a cosmetic defect, doctors don't treat or worry about it too much. Other than that...how are you feeling?

Thanks for the info. I haven't had a seizure in 14 years now. It will be 14 years November 15th since I had the surgery. I totally changed my life around. I have just been concerned all of these years about the indentation on whether it is a danger area of exposed brain tissue or not. I wasn't for sure if there was any skull there or not.

Its reassuring to find a site like this one. The first time I went in for the temporal lobe surgery, they told me I was pregnant, we weren't expecting Maddie. This past July of 08 it happened though. I am still waiting for my hair to come back. It was within the last month that I stopped all the time. And I am set to see a psychatrist up at the hospital tommorrow. I hate pictures of me being taken bc my left side is dented as well. These are things they did not tell me.
