I have a retrovermian arachnoid cyst that
is approximately 2 cm in diameter, as my
mri paper tells me. I am going to a
neurosurgeon should be within a week. As
of right now it says it is now resulting
in a "significant degree of mass effect
upon the adjacent cerebellar vermis."
apparently my cyst is symptomatic though
because of my daily headaches and chronic
migraines, which have gotten worse over
time. I have a headache usually once a
day, sometimes none, sometimes two. And a
few times a month I am getting serious
migraines where it stops me from
functioning. I am 18 years old and this
really sucks. Anyone have any info on
this or know of anything? I couldn't find
much googling it.
I sincerely appreciate nay help anyone has
to offer. It sucks being young and
getting this stuff.

Sorry to read about your arachnoid cyst. I
was diagnosed with mine at 22. I had 11
brain surgeries in that same year. I
created an Arachnoid Cyst Awareness forum
in 2006 and would like to invite you to
join. This is not spam. I just think you
would benefit from a forum dedicated to
arachnoid cyst patients only.
