Arachnoid Cyst in posterior cranialfossa
Hello Doctor,
During an eye check for my son (15 yrs) , we were asked to take an MRI brain scan.
In result, it was written as an arachnoid cyst measuring 4.2*4.2 cm in the left paramedian posterior cranial fossa.
Also the eye doctor said both his eyes have power and suggested glasses for the same.
We would like to have more insights on the above . Kindly help us to understand this and the next steps to be taken.
Please give complete history of the patient in detail.
When was he completely normal, how it started, what all problems he was having. Why was MRI done( if you were informed by the doctor). And what is the present condition.
Treatment is always given to patient, not to his MRI/CT. Something which needs surgery in one patient, may not be true in another patient. Patient condition plays a major role in deciding what needs to be done, not just MRI/CT..
