About 1 1/2 years the dr told me that i had a small pineal cyst and that my mri was normal. what is the life expectancy? is it serious?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Probably no worry: Small pineal region cysts less than 2 mm are benign and don't require any intervention. Life expectancy are unaffected.
