fluid collection in brain

hi! After 7 long months of tests with no answers I have been diagnosed with Ramsey Hunt syndrome with PHN. I have had numerous MRI of the brain and on the recent one they were comparing it to a study I had in Nov. 2007. It states there are new fluid collections. Should I be worried? What does this mean?  Thanks!

I too had been diagnosed with Ramsey Hunt Syndrome at the age of 15. 8 months later I am back to normal but with other complications although I am 20 years old now. None the less I got better. The fluid you speak of may be spinal fluid closer to the brain that collect around the brain providing cushion to protect it from injury. I'm no Dr. but I would hope that is what is showing up that that you become healthy if you are not already. Best wishes.
