A member asked:
Had a headache and nausea with vomiting. got a ct scan and they said it might be an arachnoid cyst. i never get headaches/nausea. what should i do?

Arachnoid cyst: Follow up with your doctor. Arachnoid cysts are benign, most are innocuous and require no treatment. However, depending on their size and location, they could potentially cause symptoms due to mass effect on adjacent structures. Based on limited info, can't tell whether yours is an incidental finding or has any clinical significance.
