Terrible Headaches w/ sinus cyst

[shaynandzeke]

I have been suffering w/ a terrible headache for three weeks.  I spent the last week in the hospital and doctors found all teswt (CT, MRA, MRI and bloodwork) to be normal.  I have neck pain, vision and hearing problems, dizziness, numbness and tigling in the left side.  I went to my PC and he said they did see a cyst in my sinus cavity.  I knew it was there because of prior scans, but was told it was not a big deal.  He said I sould see an ENT.  I did last year and was told to use nose sprays to dry it up which did not work.  Now the cyst is severe and takes up my entire left sinus cavity.  I want to take all my scans to my ENT (which I have an appt with next week) and say I am miserable and here is why when can you remove this?!  I feel it has been this sinus issue that has plagued me for years.  My question is am I over reacting?  Should I rush surgery or wait?  My headaches are still prestent and cannot be tollerated without barbituates or narcotics.  I don't want to take these foever.  Please help!!

You never came back with results, did it work for you? is everything fine again?

Doctors in Vienna again said that it is common and asymptomatic, they do not want to touch my left cyst, headaches are impossible to work with, also have some form of mild bronchitis for months now.

Another doctor in romania was very convinced that it has to be removed via FESS, but he also never said symptoms might be caused by it. I will try and obtain an appointment in the following weeks and try to get it out. Polyps might also be present since my nose is blocked all the time, one side or another.

Will post again, if i manage to have it done. The only thing that can prove conclusive in this confusion are post operation stories. so please post them

What is an NRT Specialist?  I've googled that and find nothing.  Am suffering vertigo, have done MRI and find out I have a maxillary sinus polyp, am working w/ENT but after over 2 mo. I am also trying what I can on my own as no help from any docs so far.  P

I see this was posted a long time ago but my son was diagnosed today with cysts in his sinuses. We never would have known because he is one of the lucky ones who doesn't have symptoms. The only way we found it is because he was hit in the head causing a concussion. During his CT scan they noticed he had enlarged lateral ventricles in his brain and ordered an MRI. That is where they found it and are now sending us to an ENT. I hope you have gotten better results since this post
