A member asked:
What may a mild mass effect due to an arachnoid cyst in anterior temporal lobe cause behaviorally and cognitively, if anything?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Usually nothing: Often it is an incidental finding that had been there pretty much for life. Rarely, it may cause seizures and much less likely memory problems, etc. but in my experience, for the most part, nothing.
