Arachnoid cyst & thornwaldt cyst &

[bulla]

I have a history of neurological damage of both medial and temporal lobes, hippocampus, hypothalamus, thalamus and pituitary (microadenoma) (I think the damage to the cortex & brain stem went down)

It was all diagnosed 15 years ago as encephalitis and I have quite a few problems from it all - problems that all seem to be getting slowly worse with time.

Anyway, the last MRI was in 2006 until I went for one last week.

The result is that the pituitary and hypothalamus remain unchanged. However there are 2 changes

"the prominent CSF space anterior to the left temporal pole has a rounded well-circumscribed appearance, likely representing an arachnoid cyst." It's 2cm

plus

"an incidental Tornwaldt cyst is identified in the nasopharynx measuring 10 x 8mm"


I have so many medical issues from the previous damage that has been getting worse with time so I don't know if they're naturally getting worse from the previous encephalitis or if it's from the new cysts recently found.

Are they (the cysts) big enough to be causing me any problems?

Are they located anywhere that they could be pressing on anything and causing me problems from the pressure on the other neurological part?

Any advice would be very welcome

Thanks
