I was told my cyst is actually an ependymal cyst at my last follow up with CT scan in June, which showed a subacute subdural hematoma and the cyst has shrunken to half its original size. I was supposed to have another follow up mid September to keep an eye on the hematoma but imaging Dept never got the requisition and there are delays backlog due to Covid...not sure when this will be now. I still have symptoms, headaches, memory and concentration issues, paresthesia, etc...Anybody else with ependymal cyst out there??

@mjp, ependymal cysts are quite rare from my understanding. You must've been relieved to hear in June that it has shrunk by 50%. Delays due to COVID are happening in health care systems across the nation. I would follow up with the referring physician and resubmit the requisition.

How are you managing your symptoms? Which one causes you the most concern?
