Hello, my son is now 4 years old and was diagnosed with an archnoid cyst on the right side of his brain.
but i am going to give a little back story to help understand the situation a little better. He was a little over 2 years old when his older brother was practicing for tee ball. Well my son walked up behind my oldest son as he was in the midst of swinging the bat (it was alum) and my youngest son had to be rushed to the ER. Where we were being seen he eventually could not walk anymore and lost all speech. He could not even stand without falling. He had stopped eating and all kinds of crap. Well the ER took x-rays and kept asking us if he had any head concussions in the last 6 months (which he did not), so they diagnosed him with some hemtomia thing (they diagnosed wrong) so they kept us and transported us to another hospital 2 hours away where he still had no control of his body. We stayed in this hospital for 2 1/2 months until his legs came back and stuff. They did a MRI and more xrays, catscans etc and that is when they diagnosed him with the Archnoid Cyst. Now we have seen TWO different drs and they both have told us that this cyst causes no symptoms and I am so beyond done of hearing this. My son was really smart heck smarter than our 6 year old. He could complete full sentences and them be completely correct. He could count, sing his abc's, tell you his full name, spell his first name, tell you what color was which etc etc and now he cannot do any of it. Since the accident has happened so much has changed with him. and when i look up the symptoms and stuff it shows that it does have symptoms but yet the drs are telling me no. what should i do? is there anything i can do? I am so lost with this and I feel helpless for my baby.
