Can My Misshaped Skull be Fixed?

Q: Dr. Eppley, I have a misshapen skull due to a cyst that is in between my brain and skull. I am desperate for help to correct my skull. I live in Australia and I would love some help.

A: As is shown in your scan the upper temporal protrusion does have a bony component but that bone is very thin. It is too thin to be burred down. It would require a crsniotomy  for bone reduction and dural plication….which is going to require a neurosurgeon to perform.
