Hello everyone, I am reaching out to see if any other adults may have similar issues that I am facing. I am 33 years old and fell 14 feet three years ago, where i cracked my head on concrete. I started having headaches and a MRI scan showed a 5x4x4 cm cyst. It was thought to be arachnoid. After 2 years the headaches finally went away, but recently they headaches have gotten much worse, having eye twitches, feeling of fluid in my ear, and numbness. I went to the ER and they did another MRI and said that the cyst has grown to 6x5x5 cm and now have thinning of the Corpus Callosum and low lying tonsils. Does anyone else have any experience similar to this?
