Hello again all, long time no talk. The Gab's been working.
New development: I had an MRI on Nov. 24. I called my family doc today to see if they had a report b/c I have that neurologist appointment tomorrow.. DR. Yufe--- Well, lo and behold, the doc phones for the report and calls me back at work to tell me I have:

1. Left CP angle epidermoid 3.5 cm AP x 3.4 cm craniocaudad
2. large cisterna magna centrally and extending laterally to the right in the posterior fossa.

I just expected it to come back saying, largest human brain we've ever encountered, but no such luck.

Well, so much for Typical Neuralgia.

The good news is it is a benign slow growing cyst.

What would you rather have, venous compression of the trig nerve or cystic compression? I don't know either. We'll see what Yufe has to say tomorrow.

Probably the same type of surgeon for both procedures no?
