arachinoid cyst

My Husband is 26 years old he was and is having a hard time cooping every day. We have been to several doctors and specialist. His symptoms are pressure head ache,tingling in the head,dizziness,eye pain,flushing of the face,numbness in his toes,lethargic,can not focus,weight gain,mood changes,hands swelling,occasional noise bleeds, and just a general ill feeling. We have had many test preformed one was an mri it showed a small arachinoid cyst  in the frontal lobe the specialist said it is not causing the symptoms. Is there anything else that can explain this? Or what other kind of test do you recommend?

hi,

Arachnoid cysts are cerebrospinal fluid-filled sacs that are located between the brain or spinal cord and the arachnoid membrane, one of the three membranes that cover the brain and spinal cord.  

Primary arachnoid cysts are present at birth and are the result of developmental abnormalities in the brain and spinal cord that arise during the early weeks of gestation.  

Secondary arachnoid cysts are not as common as primary cysts and develop as a result of head injury, meningitis, or tumors, or as a complication of brain surgery.

There has been active debate about how to treat arachnoid cysts.  

The need for treatment depends mostly upon the location and size of the cyst.  

If the cyst is small, not disturbing surrounding tissue, and not causing symptoms, some doctors will refrain from treatment

In the past, doctors placed shunts in the cyst to drain its fluid.  

Now with microneurosurgical techniques and endoscopic tools that allow for minimally invasive surgery, more doctors are opting to surgically remove the membranes of the cyst or open the cyst so its fluid can drain into the cerebrospinal fluid and be absorbed.
