my daughter is supposed to start growth hormone therapy for GHD, but a pineal gland cyst was found when they did a standard MRI prior to starting therapy. Now Im not sure what they will do. Ive been on the edge of my seat all day waiting for endocrine and/neuro to get back to me. Nevermind. Im not going to pay when I have my specialist calling me back today
Hi, Thank you for posting your query.First, I would like to reassure you that there is no need to worry about your daughters MRI findings. Pineal cyst is most often an incidental finding and no action is necessary for that. A repeat MRI scan of brain may be done after six months. If there is no change in the size of pineal cyst, then, no treatment would be required. In a small percentage of patients, the cyst may geography in size. In that case, the cyst would need to be removed by an operation. I hope my answer helps. Please get back if you have any follow-up queries or if you require any additional information. Wishing you good health, Chat Doctor. Ly/
