Arachnoid Cyst In Left Side Which Is Ruptured To Brain. History Of Weird Headache When Head Is Shaken, MRI Done. Possible Presence Of Cyst?
Hi I was wondering I have a arachnoid cyst on left side that ruptured to brain but i was stuck in hospital for awhile but I was fine just had weird headaches when I shook my head and took MRI to see how it was to see what they can do for surgery but the fluid that ruptured to brain that gave pressure to the brain went away so that means that the cyst is still there? Or no? But I got a follow up catscan coming up though..

Hi,
Thank you for posting your query.
It would be nice if you can upload the MRI report, so as to enable me to give a better answer.
Generally, if the arachnoid cyst ruptures, then, it becomes smaller. Also, if the arachnoid cyst is not causing any symptoms (such as headache or seizures), then, it can be left alone and no surgery is required.
Please get back if you require any additional information.
