I am an adult that has a Parietal Porencephalic Cyst on my left side of the brain. Recently , I ve had headaches and ear pain on the left side. I have had muscle weakness on my right side since birth. Also , my vision is affected in my left eye. One Dr. thought they would put a shunt in. Saw one nuerologist who said not to do surgery. Wants me to go to another nuerologist. When I don t have pain, I have a lot of pressure on left side of face. Confused , scared as no one never told me exactly what I had. Years a go , they never said what I had.How do I know what the best treatment for me is. Dr. also talked about seizure activity. A little scared at this point.
Hi I better understand your concern, thanks for choosing Chat Doctor, in such cases I personally ask for some reports, like ct scan documentations or MRI, form the over all of your history I would advise you for a shunt this will give you some relief & will definitely stop further damage to the surrounding tissues, better consult some good neurosurgeon (Shunting is not permanent solution, shunt get blocks in few days, but meanwhile it finishes its job) take care. Have good time.
