    I had it since 13 but my parents were ignoring it and telling me to 'stop acting'. Im now 24 and I decided to get it sorted out myself because it was causing me to much problems.
    For 10 years I've been having seizures and I was also sleep deprived. This also stopped me from going out because I was scared to have a seizure in public; I had a few which were very bad.
    This also lead to me having anxiety.
    So it might be 'just a cyst' but the amount of leading problems it can cause is devastating.

    I'm currently 41 yrs old and had shunting on the right side of my brain in 1980. Arachnoid cyst was confirmed through CT Scan (Duke University), after my local pediatrician in Wilmington, NC had thought that my head was larger than it should've been at that age. Through the many years I'd go for a follow up once a year, or sometimes every two years in my adolescence and early - mid teen years, however the time gaps in follow ups would significantly decrease as I got into adulthood. I did schedule a visit back in December of 2018 after a decade of not keeping check on it. Last observation was no detection of cyst in right middle cranial fossa, and that basically the shunt was no longer needed. My concern with my 40 yr old ordeal is that they made note of the shunts tubing, or catheter was exterminating. Assuming that's consistent with the aging process since the surgery, but still confused...
    Calcification noted, along with discontinuity of the tube. I feel fine, no complications from it that I'm consciously aware of. Really enjoyed watching this video and the expertise from the source.

    Hello Dr. David Sandberg.
    I had an MRI and CT five years ago. They were taken at the hospital for psychiatric reasons. They told me at the time that my brain scans were all totally normal. They mentioned my Small cyst in my brain. They told me a little about it, but mainly they were just trying to tell me that I didn't have any indicators in my brain of bipolar or schizophrenia. I knew I didn't have either of those things.
    The Psychiatrist who reviewed the brain scans with me, put little emphasis on anything being concerning with the cyst. He may have been right on that hundred percent.
    Last summer I had a concussion that was work related. I did get on Worker's Compensation and they covered me for eight months. They never offered me a CT or brain scan. They thought there was no purpose. They didn't even bother to look at my brain scan from those five years ago.
    Anyways, I saw a neurologist recently who I waited about 2 1/2 years to see. He thought it would be a good idea to order at least an MRI to see if my Cyst had grown since my concussion the summer before.
    The scans have been done now. Well at least the MRI scan was done. Also he ordered an EEG for me. I hope you can get me in soon to go over the results with me. It's very hard to get even a follow up at this office.
    So that's where I'm at at this point in time. My symptoms have only been increasing since the summer. I think my concussion impacted me a lot more Then doctors thought. I did appear to recover and be able to work for six months straight full-time while still recovering from this concussion. So I got well enough to work enough.
    This summer I signed up for two school classes. I noticed that my concentration in school especially was a lot more challenging. Even though I may have been well enough to work. The summer sun has really been on setting my concussion symptoms again. I got serotonin syndrome the other week from migraine medications and in proper usage of them. That freaked me out.
    I guess my question here is should I request a CT as well from this neurologist. I want him to view it with me soon. I will make my way to the hospital imaging centre soon enough to try to look at this. I have a feeling cases that needs a very good neurologist to look at and brain surgeon to give a second opinion.
    It's been a week and I haven't heard anything back. So hopefully I'll hear from them soon. I'm sure if it was something immediately alarming then they called me right away. So I'm sure it's good the second longer. At the same time I know they're going to say something on it. This neurologist is really good. I guess I'm just asking for any in the case that money cyst and the added impact from the concussion are hard to prove.
    I'm also looking for a pro bono lawyer to start working with this case for me. I know in my heart after healing for a bit but still having symptoms on so badly a year later this summer. I'm 23 and I have a bright future ahead of me. I know something with my head needs to be fixed. I've tried so many things and they're all bandaid solutions.
    Struggle with so many other physical ailments throughout my body. And have only gotten pieces of the diagnosis is. I care about my brain more than anything right now. I am looking for a pro bono lawyer to hopefully help me on this case. WCB was very nice to me. They do not know the full extent of how much this concussion May have impacted my brain, my spine and the rest of my body.
    Just looking for whatever advice you can give me on the situation. Please feel free to email me or even give me a phone call I'd be so grateful for your advice on this. If you're open to any of these options just let me know and we'll figure out a way of connecting, which ever way works for you.
    Thank you kindly in advance,
    ~Ketri Elise

    I’m a 20 year old female from the UK and I’ve been diagnosed with an Arachnoid Cyst. My GP (family doctor) called me and told me that they don’t need to be treated. I’m not sure whether this is quite accurate and I’m worried that I should be seeking treatment. I wasn’t able to see my scan due to Covid-19 restrictions, so I don’t know how big the cyst is or whereabouts in my brain it is.

    Hello. I was wondering if that girl with the language delay improved her language after the operation? My daughter has a 3.5 cm arachnoid cyst in her left temporal lobe. She just turned 5. The MR was taken 1 year ago here in Turkey. A few doctors I have seen told me not to worry about her cyst and told me it is harmless. They told me that my daughter has atypical autism. However, I am not sure of this diagnosis. She has great language delay. She understands much better than she talks. I believe that these arachnoid cysts might have been misdiagnosed with autism. I believe my daughter has ADHD and anxiety and language delay due to this cyst. However, is 3.5 cm large enough to cause such problems?

      @@Anandbrose Hi. We moved to Australia almost 2 years ago and had another brain MRI done. Cyst is the same size. We have seen many doctors in a public children's Hospital. And they said the same thing. Cyst does not cause her symptoms. We have got the autism diagnosis and after this diagnosis doctors are not doing much more investigation unfortunately. Try arachnoid cyst Facebook pages. They have some good doctors list. But mainly in America.

My son who’s 16 yrs old was diagnosed with Arachnoid cyst after he had a concussion playing football he was seen by a pediatric neurosurgery here at El Paso Tx Dr. David Jiménez he is a wonderful doctor he did place a shunt on my son’s cyst and now he is doing much better. I highly recommend Dr. David Jiménez he is the best pediatric neurosurgery .

    Dr thank you very much for such a thorough video. My almost 3 year old has a left middle cranial fossa Arachnoid Cyst measuring 3.9xcm APx 6cm T (previously 3.6x48cm a year before). Is this a large AC? His MRI reports mass effect on anterior temporal and inferior temporal lobes w/stable rightward midline shift of approx 4mm. My toddler since birth was gushed right over his motor cortex during vacuum. Toddler remains with the scar. Since birth toddler displays and therapists report with high and low muscle tones, oral, gross and fine motor delays, chronic congestion, hearing and vision dysfunctions. Chronic constipation and diarrhea. Chronic almost daily unbalanced sleep patterns. Possible sleep apnea, language, chewing, swallowing, overstuffing, teeth grinding, beyond hyperactive and never still, bad coordination and balance, beyond accident prone, Spd and now Asd Diagnosis. Could the temporal lobe shift be result of all or some of above? Neurosurgeon now is vague about possibly some but report on paper delays "not second to AC"? Toddler in the womb showed no signs during 2x weekly NST's and quarterly sonograms. I suspect toddler experiences frequent headaches because toddler cries and says his head hurts. His MRI also reports a cerebellar tonsillar ectopia extending 3mm below foreman magnum. Can cerebellar tonsillar ectopia be cause of possible sleep apnea, language, chewing, swallowing, overstuffing and teeth grinding ? And or also all of some of above delays? Neurosurgeon now ordered us not to worry about cerebellar tonsillar ectopia, is the cerebellar tonsillar ectopia due to AC size? Do you believe we should not worry about cerebellar tonsillar ectopia? We are in Southern California and currently now seeing a 2nd neurosurgeon at LLU not because of us. Simply because 1st neurosurgeon hospital advised went on leave and never returned. How do we obtain a second opinion at another Childrens Hospital? Do you recommend we ask our neurosurgeon for a 2nd opinion? What Childrens Center in or near Southern California can you recommend as a state of the art for pediatric AC Cyst along with Cerebellar Tonsillar Ectopia? Mom and dad desperately need more answers so as to better decide on shunt or fenestration and definitely ask if our current neurosurgeon does endoscopic fenestration? I look forward to your best medical advise. Please also feel free to email me cathinostroza76@gmail.com

    Hello. In our 3-month-old baby, the lesion was interpreted in favor of an arachnoid cyst located in the posterior fossa of the cerebellar hemisphere in the posterior fossa, with a maximal size of 50x26x34 mm in all extraaxial sequences. In all sequences, the lesion was initially interpreted as an arachnoid cyst in CSF signal intensity. Is there any danger?

    Thank you for this thorough video regarding arachnoid cysts. My 11 year old son was diagnosed with a large left frontoparietal arachnoid cyst 18 months ago. It was found while having an MRI for absent seizures. We were told it is best to leave it alone and he was put on seizure medication. Every 6 months he has an EEG to check for seizures although they have no intention of a repeat MRI to see if the cyst has changed at all. Does this sound like the right treatment plan for him? His cyst was 8.6x7.2x8.8 cm in 10/15. Thank you for your time.

    I have an arachnoid cyst in the left temporal lobe 14 cm3. It was found after my mild traumatic brain injury in a sport event. I never had headaches in my life, but now I have tension headaches, I feel pressure at the top of my head almost every day, but it goes away when I feel relaxed. Can the cyst be the reason of pressure or it’s just the symptom of my depression, stress and anxiety? Finding out that I have a huge liquid sack in my brain was a shocking experience to me, I thought I might die or something. Now I feel afraid of going out with friends so I don’t get accidentally hit again somewhere and die. Never expected my life to become a horror movie in an instant. And there is no much info on the topic either. Surgery sounds scary because one wrong move and I’m dead. And maybe surgery changes the personality forever, and I’d never be able to know the difference because my new me would be another me with a different brain structure - different brain structure - different person.

The more time passes from my concussion, the less headaches I have. We just need to relax and avoid dangerous sports. Brain has the ability to regenerate itself after injuries. Overthinking and stress makes things so much worse.
