Pineal cyst of 0.7x1.0 x1.0 cm abut to tectal plate does this mean its causing damage? is scintillating scotoma a seizure symptom?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Probably not: First, pineal cysts are reasonably common and typically don't amount to much. The visual symptoms you describe are quite unlikely to be related to seizure-related. Talk with your neurologist about these findings, but resist the temptation to automatically link the two things.
