Pineal Cyst: What symptoms led to your diagnosis?

Posted by Jeep @jeep, Aug 18, 2011

Seems that we've found that I Have a Pineal Cyst. It was discovered while investigating tinitis and vertigo issues. Nurosurgeon says it's not the cause of my symptoms. Other discussions I've read show many folks with PC having similar symptoms and similar conclusions by thier neurologist. Symptoms include visual disturbances (eye strain), diziness, fatigue, constant tinitis- often pulsatile, constant low-grade headache. The only relief is occassional doses of Lorazapam.

Anybody have any insight?

Thanks

Hello, I understand that you posted this years ago but I am wondering how you have made out with your pineal cyst. I have one too. It was found in December 2018 and I have had symptoms similar to yours. Look forward to hearing back.

Hi, @blewicki - welcome to Mayo Clinic Connect. I'm hopeful that @jeep will respond and provide an update on the pineal cyst and how the symptoms are currently.

I'd also like to introduce you to @susie2525 @loriagee71 @dailychronicsupportgroup @supraorbital @elsk. A couple of these members have been away for a bit, but I'm hoping they will return and share an update about their pineal cysts or cysts in this region that they mentioned previously. I'd love for them to share any tips they may have, too.

You mentioned, @blewicki, that you've had symptoms similar to @jeep's. Will you share more about what symptoms you've experienced and any suggestions for ways you've found to manage them?
