Archnoid cyst size increasing

2019-01-20 19:04:20
Since childhood I have an archnoid cyst which was diagnosed 6 months back only.We were then recommended to analyse it every 6 months and to get a MRI done in order to know whether the cyst size is same or what. After 6 months I got my MRI done now in January and the report says the size is increased. Thankfully I have no such symptoms of headache or fits or etc. Please suggest if surgery is required or just medical treatment will cure .
