Crepitus kind of sound on top of head

Question

Asked for Male, 8 Years

My son who is 9 years old now, had a mild traumatic brain injury and as per the advice of doctors we did MRI after 6 days from the date of birth and got to know he had small hematomas and doctor told us that it will resolve on its own. he is very normal kid as others, good at academics, very good at music. My question is today afternoon he said he felt a crepitus kind of sound on left top slightly back of his head, this is the third or fourth time it's happening since a year. There is no much pain, it sounds like finger knuckle cracking sound it seems. Am little worried since he has brain related history. Can anybody show light on this. Thanks in advance.

If there is no painful swelling over the scalp or the site of sound nothing to worry... However a visit to a neurosurgeon is recommended if he has headaches , vomittings or seizures.
