Suggest Treatment For Arachnoid Cyst

Hello my name is Chris, I am 33 and was diagnosed with an arachnoid cyst 4 cm transverse x 5.2 cm sagittal x 2.4 cm AP in the left posterior fossa. So far GP s have told me that there is nothing to worry about. In your opinion do these cysts grow? Is there any need for concern?

Hello,

It is a non cancerous thing and only close follow up is required if it is a symptomatic. You can seek help from a neurosurgeon for expert opinion.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Shinas Hussain, General & Family Physician
