A member asked:
Can pineal gland cyst cause headaches? ct scan showed .7mm cyst on pineal gland, headache over a week now. or other cause?

Small cysts less than 1 cm are incidental findings and may not be the cause of symptoms. MRI may be needed to confirm it’s a simple cyst. Follow up imaging is needed to confirm that they are not increasing in size.

A relatively small cyst will not result in secondary headaches, but the stress of worry could cause tension headaches. Talk to your doctor about plans for handling this, and potential future studies. If headache persists or worsens, seek a neurological consultation.
