What Is The Treatment For Chronic Neck Pain, Headaches And Cysts On Vertebra?

My 11 year old daughter was diagnosed via mri with a thornwald cyst down her throat/neck 2 years ago. She complained of chronic neck pain and headaches. She has had 2 surgeries to remove cyst and once again has grown back in less than 3 months. The cyst sits close to the tissue connecting her vertebra. She had a ct scan with contrast today . Any suggestions on regrowth of a thornwald cyst?

Hi,
Thank you for posting your query.

It is unfortunate that the cyst has re-grown in your daughter's case, even after two surgeries.

I am afraid the solution in her case is a good surgery, even if it is the third time.

Please discuss with her surgeon regarding the future treatment options.
I hope my answer helps. Please get back if you require any additional information.

Wishing you good health,
