Hi,

This is a likely a benign finding and no treatment is necessary for what is seen in the scan.

A solitary entity such as what you describe is also a highly unlikely cause of the type of headaches you have been having.

Have you tried modalities of thermal intervention such as a cold pack or even a warm pack upon the forehead or back of the neck? There is a device specially designed for headache relief using thermal relief that includes light compression of a band strapped to the head that circulates water of regulated temperature called a thermal zone device.

You may find this by Googling it. A very large number of my patients with chronic headaches find this to be a very soothing and relaxing intervention. Of course, the mainstay of permanent treatment for such headaches is know their root cause and treat that issue either definitively or preventatively.

Seeing a neurologist or headache specialist may help reveal good approaches along those lines.

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

Regards,
Dr. Dariush Saghafi, Neurologist
