A member asked:
What does this mean: arachnoid cyst 10 mm thick exerting discrete mass on adjacent structures. can a 10 mm arachnoid cyst even press on the brain?? is this correct?

Hard to tell: It is not feasible to evaluate without reviewing films. It is even more challenging to speculate whether the cyst compresses brain tissue. Best to have a radiologist review the images with you and point out whether such impacts are present.
