A member asked:
How likely is a 1.7cm pineal cyst to cause hydrocephalus? how would i know if i had it?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not likely: Hydrocephalus can be diagnosed on MRI, if you have had studies to reveal the pineal cyst chances are very high that your brain surgeon has evaluated this aspect. Cysts need to be monitored for changes in characteristics and size.
