I had a mri scan for problems i have been having with my ear and although my ear looks fine they told me i had an arachnoid cyst on the left posterior fossa casuing minor displacement of the cerebellum. I also have Marfan syndrome (connective tissue disorder) and wondered if the 2 could be related. I ve heard of people with marfans having cysts on their spine i think its called dura ecstasia due to the elasticity of the dura. Are these things similar. I wasnt told the size of the cyst. Do you know if cysts are usual in this part of the brain?
