My 14 yr old son just had a pineal cyst removed and an arachnoid cyst was discovered and fenestrated. We are very happy with our Neurosurgeon, his team, and facility. We live in MI and are more than happy to continue our care in TX as we were treated extremely well. This is a great webinar by Dr Dong Kim. Feel free to discuss our experience with us!

My brother has a 3cm arachnoid cyst in the third ventricle. One Boston doctor said they don’t do anything when the cysts are in that ventricle and advised to try to live with it. I’m hoping we can find a great surgeon who can help him. He says it feels like a blood pressure cuff is on inside his head.

Thank you in advance for responding

Hi James wife - Finding a physician who has experience in the treatment of arachnoid cysts can be very challenging. While we are not able to provide you with a specific physician recommendation, we can assist you in the process of finding one. Please join our new Group, Arachnoid Cyst Support Group, where you can talk with the other members and share information. You can find the group at this link: https://www.empowher.com/groups/arachnoid-cyst-support-group
