Is large left fronto-temporal arachnoid cyst serious?

Yesterday 13 July 2024 I received MRI report of my wife who did MRI because feeling pressure on jaw and right side of the head, she also feel drowsiness like she is floating. She doesn't have sever headache but above mentioned symptoms have been common through they day for a month now. It gets worse when she is stressed. The MRI showed she had "large left fronto-temporal arachnoid cyst that measures approx 8.4cm in craniocaudal extent, 5cm from side to side and 5.4 cm in greatest antero-posterior dimension, it's causing hypoplasia of the left fronto-temporal lobes" Very worried about this, is this very serious? When do we know it's serious? What should we do about it? What are the surgery options? Is it better to do surgery or leave it as it is?

Answered on 28th Aug '24

The problems your wife has are most likely due to the arachnoid cyst. This is a small, fluid-filled pouch that develops in the brain and may lead to pressure and dizziness. Although very serious, not every arachnoid cyst requires surgery. This issue in the long term may be diminished by consistent monitoring by a neurosurgeon to check for early warning signs. In some cases, the operation is an answer to avoid the worsening of the symptoms or the visible growth of the cyst. The road to recovery can provide the most appropriate therapy options with a neurosurgeon to come up with the best possible solution.

Do my son need shunt surgery

Male | 19

I cannot provide personalized medical advice or diagnose online. If you are concerned about your son's health and whether he needs shunt surgery, consult with a professional pediatrician or a neurosurgeon. Shunt surgery is recommended for individuals with hydrocephalus or other conditions that cause an abnormal accumulation of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) in the brain, leading to increased pressure and damage to brain tissue.

Female | 40

Multiple sclerosis affects everyone differently. I suggest you to get a second opinion from a neurologist who specializes in MS. They can provide a treatment plan tailored to your mother's specific needs. It's important to continue any ongoing treatment while seeking additional medical advice.

It is always best to consult with her doctor to see what's the best course of action is for her. However, medications such as oxybutynin, tolterodine, and solifenacin may be effective in treating urinary incontinence. Additionally, physical therapy and pelvic floor exercises may help improve her walking and bladder control.

Sir, our patient was told by the Drs on the eve of the feast. He suffered a cerebral hemorrhage due to sudden high blood pressure. He was operated on and a drain was inserted. He was intubated for the first 3 days, and reintubated 4 days later. It was informed that our patient reacted to pain but could not wake up because he was unconscious. We watched him react to some reactions, but his doctors say that these reactions are meaningless, for example, when I tickled the bottom of our patient's right foot, I saw that his right toes made small movements and I saw him open his eyes. and I looked from left to right with eye movements and I saw tears flowing from my left eye, I couldn't see this feeling in the left foot. When we wet it with cotton, I saw mouth and lip movements move, I saw movements that were disturbed by thirst, but there was no speech, but the first 10 legs of his body were very swollen and cold. In the last week, keep the body on fire, from the feet to the head, the body temperature is very high. Our patient was operated on the 14th day. Drainage has changed Dear teacher, we need you about the general condition of our patient, can you get back to us, can we share our patient's information?

Erkek | 75

I would suggest to consult with the patient's doctors and nurses directly involved in their care for accurate information and updates regarding their condition and share your concerns directly with them.

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.

Female | 16

The brain is protected by the skull, but there are no specific circular or ring-shaped bones associated with the limbic system and hypothalamus. These regions are part of the brain's structure and function independently within the skull's protection. And the brain's structure consists of various regions and structures that work together to regulate functions such as emotions, memory, and homeostasis, with the protection provided by the skull.

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.
