Patient's question:
My brother's child was recently diagnosed with this disease, and the whole family is in a panic, not knowing what to do. We don't even know what this pediatric brain cyst is. The child is so young, and we don't want him to suffer too much. Is this disease serious? Is there a good treatment method? Is it treatable?Doctor's answer:
Pediatric brain abscesses and arachnoid cysts are divided into two types: congenital and secondary. The former is a problem that occurs, while the latter is caused by other reasons such as trauma, inflammation, and widespread adhesion of the arachnoid.Guidance: A benign brain cyst has an arachnoid wall and cyst fluid similar to cerebrospinal fluid. The cyst is located on the surface of the brain, closely related to the subarachnoid space, but does not invade the brain. They are mostly solitary, with a few being multiple, usually located in the brain and cisterns. The larger one can press on both brain tissue and the skull, leading to neurological symptoms and skull changes. This disease is more common in children, more common in males, and more common on the left side than the right.
