A member asked:
Mri done 6 yrs ago, very tiny cyst on brain, never referred to physician, should i worry? notes on mri from radiologist made it seem extremely benign

Rest easy: The only thing that puzzles me is why you've started to worry about a 6-year-old MRI. That cyst was most likely there when you were born and it'll be there when you die. If it hasn't caused any problems by now, I think you can stop fretting about it.
