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.
Was your son’s cyst in the center of his brain like my brothers?
Thank you in advance for responding
