Docs, could a porencephalic cyst kill you?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No.: Typically, these cysts do not place pressure on the brain or cause problems with spinal fluid circulation. The cyst should be monitored by a neurosurgeon. Should it ever change or grow, you may need a procedure to drain it.
