I I was recently diagnosed with a large broad-based retrocerebellar arachnoid cyst measuing up to 3cm in thickness. When I went in for my results, the doctor simply said we will monitor it for a year and do another MRI then. I was so much shock that I even told her I was no longer getting headaches. That night it finally hit me like a ton of bricks. My symptoms include headaches, nausea, dizziness, and problems with my short term memory. The doctor just said I have a cyst in my brain. She showed me the images, but never gave me the specific type of cyst. I know the type now because I requested a copy of the report and images. I am scared and stressed. I am currently waiting for insurance approval for a 2nd opinion. I am hoping to speak to an expert soon so that I can get all the answers to my many questions. Can anyone related to my situation? I am trying not to think too much about this, but it is hard not to. Any information anyone can share will be greatly appreciated. Thank you!
