cyst in the left temporal lobe

cyst in the left temporal lobe

I had a ct scan in 2006 that had shown a "shadow" in my brain, well then my MD ordered an MRI that shows a cyst in the left temporal lobe and I am not sure if this is serious. What now? I know that there is not supposed to be things like that in or on your brain. I need direction and I do not know what to do now.

Hello.  In regard to your post, I would suggest you see a neurologist and a neurosurgeon about your particular case.  What they suggest will most likely depend on whether or not you are having any symptoms.  They may elect to just keep an eye on the cyst with MRI scans every now and then.  Surgery may become necessary in the future, but there are many procedures in existence now that are not as life-altering as those of their counterparts in the past.  Radiosurgery or radiotherapy might be an option for you.  At any rate, I highly suggest you not wait around for something serious to happen before you contact a health professional.  I wish you the best.  God bless...
