Yes I did have surgery the day before yesterday the surgeon said my cyst was in an unusual location and that when they opened me up didnt look like the cysts they normally saw. Apparently there was a lot of pressure inside mine and it basically spouted fluid when they opened the cyst wall. They were able to remove the majority of it and believe it wont come back. As for the surgery itself it went well but since I had a regular craniotomy I am in quite a bit of pain and there is a lot of nausea. Moving around even a little bit exhausts me and my head throbs. Hopefully I will be on the mend soon.

Hi @em87 thank you for the info! What is the contact info of your doctor? I have an arachnoid cyst that’s 44 mm on my cerebellum. I have vertigo, dizziness, major, headaches, terrible word recall, ringing and popping in my ears, bad vision in my left eye & I’m quite lethargic. I went to a neurosurgeon, where I live in Las Vegas and he’s only performed arachnoid surgery 4 times in the past 30 years. It seems like he doesn’t really believe in it. He said that I’m fine and don’t need surgery because he doesn’t think my symptoms are coming from the cyst. I’ve already ruled out every other option though and want to meet with a doctor that performs the surgery.
