2 cysts detected in MRI Brain P+C
Hello Doctor,
In recent MRI Brain with Contrast
I have one cyst in the pineal region of size 1.6*1.3*1.0 cms and another cyst in pituitary gland of size 2-3 mm ( microadenoma ) report attached for reference.
I am on Thyroid medication Eltroxin 100 mcg since past 15 years.
I underwent emergency LSCS 2.5 years back, at that time only pineal cyst was detected(1.6*1.3*1.0cms).
Is this a matter of serious concern? Can it be treated with medication?
Symptoms I face: irregular but frequent electric shocks in brain for few secs, sometimes headache, severe tiredness almost all the time.
Kindly guide.

Pineal cyst small in size if asymptomatic nothing to be done... Regular follow up required.... Microadenoma treatment depends on hormonal profile and symptoms..... Cysts in two different locations... Possibility of germ cell should be ruled out
