Patient's question:
My daughter is 7 years old and was checked in the hospital for a small cyst in the right choroid fissure, significant enlargement of both lateral ventricles, and right mastoiditis. Is this condition serious? How should it be treated? It has just been a week since the onset.Doctor's answer:
Choroidal cyst is a rare congenital benign inflammatory condition, classified as a neuroepithelial cyst, with an incidence rate of less than 1% of intracranial cysts. I don't know what your main symptoms are, but such cysts generally do not produce clinical diagnostic symptoms. A very few reports suggest that this condition may be associated with clinical manifestations such as epilepsy (grand mal). Therefore, if your diagnosis is confirmed, it is generally not necessary to treat it. You can have irregular follow-up head imaging under close and careful observation. Drug treatment is ineffective, so there is no need for drug treatment.
