Intramedullary cystic spinal cord lesion beside hemorragic fluid content?
My Aunty who is 56 is reported with intramedullary cystic lesion at C2,C3,C4,C5 region . The MRI says this Hemorrhagic cyst.
The two MRI in a one year extent shows growth in the cystic lesion from 4,0.8,0.8 to 6.3,1.0,1.3
The doctor neurosurgeon told it needs to be operated and near are chances of not being a successful one. If failed it would closing stages in paralysis
We could not understand what exactly this is and what are the treatment options available and best place to do this.
Thanks within advance
Answers: Well I'm not a neurosurgeon, but my daughter had neurosurgery back within January. Best I can tell, a Hemorrhagic cyst is a cyst filled with blood and other fluid.
Operating could prove insecure due to the spinal region it is in.
I think the best thing would be to receive a second opinion. Neuros are all very different, and as I scholarly, it really pays to search until you find one you are comfortable with.
Not sure where you live. The one I used is within Portland, OR and is an amazing lady. And also, neuros can be jerks too...a lot of God complex and attitude contained by some cases..so don't be surprised by that. Good luck!
