What should I do if a 3.5-year-old child with a brain cyst cannot speak?

Patient's question:

Main symptoms do not speak, intelligence is slower than children, main response is slow

Doctor's answer:

A brain cyst is a condition where a cystic mass forms between brain tissue and its associated structures, resulting in varying degrees of intracranial pressure symptoms. Brain cysts are benign growths, and due to their large size, they exert pressure on the brain, forming one type of space-occupying lesion. These lesions are generally benign and may be asymptomatic or cause symptoms such as headaches. Medications can only provide symptomatic treatment and cannot eliminate the cyst. It is recommended to first undergo symptomatic treatment and observation for a period, followed by regular follow-ups for comparison. If the cyst is large or symptoms are severe, surgical removal may be necessary. Surgical treatment generally has a good prognosis.
