A member asked:
A recent brain mri discovery small pinial cysts. on year later no change in size. what is next step in checking them. a few years? not at all?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Pineal cysts: probably never need to check any MRI or imaging ever again, but get specific written recommendation directly from Radiologist or Neurologist based on your specific MRI - sometimes there are details or clinical issues which might warrant some sort of follow up
