Arachnoid Cyst

I am 48 yrs old woman from Ontario Canada just diagnosed with arachnoid cyst on brain, I do not know the exact dimensions...well, picture is worth a thousand words. I had MS like symptoms (vertigo,headaches, diziness, nausea, double vision, memory loss), which triggered the need for MRI. I was referred to a Neurosurgeon who recommended another specialized MRI plus procedure with camera to figure out best COA for surgery so to not affect language. I started having tinnitus approx 2 weeks ago left ear, right ear two days later. I was told most likely due to virus...the answer to anything and everything these days! I was given nasal steroids for the tinnitus which doesn't help thus far and got nosebleed today. For as long as I can remember I felt like my sense of smell was off which I assumed was because of multiple sinus infections, rhinitis, allergies or deviated septum. I am waiting for a date for everything ,this is two weeks after the initial appointment and I was told surgery in a month or two. Waiting game now...

Welcome to Mayo Clinic Connect, @mjp. Glad you know what you are dealing with now with this diagnosis.

Are you planning to proceed with the specialized MRI plus procedure? Did your doctor correlate the tinnitus with the arachnoid cyst?
