I am a 55 year old woman. I weigh 145 pounds and I am 5 2 . I am a size 6 and do work out. I had an MRI in 2006 because of headaches/pressure. They found a cyst on my brain. 2010 suffering bad headaches again. Cyst still there but no change in size. 2014 another MRI now shows cyst has grown. I am on Gabapentin 2 pills a day. What is the treatment for this and how serious is it? Thank you
Hi, I am Chat Doctor.  I have read your question and understand your concerns. Let me try to help you "now shows cyst has grown"Question : What is the treatment for this and how serious is it?

This is a minimally invasive procedure that can be done under Local Anesthesia Based on the findings of Cyst Fluid analysis, we have to plan future course of action Hope you found the answer helpful.
