Hello @kyoto,

Shocking indeed that I have been able to function all these years with this thing in my brain!

Although looking back, it explains a lot of things that I just blamed on either being clumsy, all thumbs, forgetful or absent minded.

I wish I would have a copy of the actual report , I will add another picture.

The neurosurgeon did mention the possibility that my brain may not like its new shape and form, consequently I may have epilepsy episods as a result.

I think he mentioned seizures actually

Just got a copy of the initial MRI report. Evidence of a large intraventricular cyst located in the right lateral ventricle. Thus cyst is responsible for expansion of the ventricle, deviation of the midline structures to the left. The lesion measures 6x9x6 cm in the Xand Y ans Z plane respectively and has signal characteristics similar to CSF in all sequence. The right choroid plexus appears to be displaced laterally and inferiorly. The septum pellucidum is deviated contralaterally. The left lateral ventricle is deviated but not significantly compressed.

Can I ask what happened after surgery? Did you have problems did you have seizures? My cyst has been with me for my life I just turned 26. Surgeon is worried about what it how brain will react or if it will move as it's been use to this thing pushing on it for so long
