My main concern::: Do I need to get it checked out, Do I have a Time Bomb in my head,
Or can I just forget about it..... If the picture I have posted with this question ever gets approved you will be able to see the MRI.
Is a 4cm arachnoid cyst on your left frontal lobe this IS causing a mass effect something that needs attention?????????
.... or can I just put it at the back of my mind...lol
Hello.
Arachnoid cysts are known to occur in the frontal lobes, but are rare. They present with the frontal lobe syndrome.
According to Kotil et al, only 13 cases of interhemispheric arachnoid cysts have been reported.
Here's a link to an article which shows the good effect of surgery for arachnoid cysts.

i have tried reading up on the internet and have found no other case of an arachnoid cyst in the same position as me.. they all seem to be in the temperol lobe...
Does anyone have any information as to whether an arachnoid cyst causing mass effect needs treatment?????
See pic for MRI scan..
