Suggest Treatment For Arachnoid Cyst In Brain

Hi! I just had an MRI of the neck and brain and was told that I have an arachnoid cyst and would like to know if its ok to take 81mg aspirin on a daily basis even though I have the cyst. I always hear about hemorraging either with the stomach or even the brain with some of the risks. Thank you for your time.

Hi,

I am Dr.Bruno. I have read your question and understand your concerns. Let me try to help you

Question: Suggest treatment for arachnoid cyst in brain
Answer : Treatment depends on few factors
1. Location of the cysts
2. Size of the cyst
3. Whether it is growing (to be determined by another Scan after 6 months)
4. Whether it is compressing any vital structures

In Most cases, we don't need any treatment as the cyst wont be compressing any vital structures
