Neoplastic pathology means any disease which causes a tumor, whereas arachnoid cyst means that it is just a fluid-filled sac and not a tumor, so the report merely suggests that there is a possibility of either 2 affecting your mother, but it doesn't conclude anything, so we can't be certain about whether it's a tumor or not.
For tumors, surgery will be the main line of treatment, followed by either chemotherapy, or radiation therapy, or both.
Arachnoid cyst wouldn't need a treatment, but if you do go ahead anyway, or if there's some complication that results from it, then surgery would be needed.

Hello, This is Edu, I am 30 years. I injured my head even my face has seams like fat. When it started with my head my hair roots were very injured now continuing to half part of my face.

Female | 30

The fat-like stitches you are telling me about could be swollen tissue from the injury. The head injury side effects like irritated hair roots and swelling are the symptoms that would show up after a head injury. At the point of not seeking help for yourself, you put yourself at a higher risk. A doctor can diagnose the problem and pick the best remediation method for you which can be medication, wound care, or surgery.

I am 48 years old and suffering from carpal tunnel from past 6 years. Earlier problem was not so much but now I am feeling numbness in my right hand while writing or doing any particular work. Should I go for surgery? Is there any physiotherapy after surgery and after how long I can do writing work as I am a teacher

Female | 48

You should go for surgery if your symptoms are very severe and make it difficult for you to do your everyday activities. Yes, after surgery, physiotherapy is done for better flexibility and strength. When can you resume writing and other work depends on the type of surgery you had and other things. It is important to listen to your doctor and start writing only after consulting him.

My name is shameer .I have surgery L1 burst .and loss control on bladder and bowel .11 months completed .how gain Bladder regaining power

Male | 23

It is tough to cope with the loss of control over the bladder and bowel. These problems may occur after L1 burst surgery due to injury to the nerves. Symptoms of this include not feeling the need to pee or poop or leaking. The positive news is that you can regain bladder control with pelvic floor exercises and bladder training. Request your doctor or physiotherapist to devise a plan for strengthening those muscles.
