Default MRI shows Pineal Cyst?

Hi everyone,

I'm wondering if anybody with PCS-like symptoms has had an MRI taken that showed the presence of a pineal cyst?

I had two concussions within a six-month period, and have been experiencing headaches, nausea, dizziness, weakness, memory problems and light sensitivity for about 1.5 years now.

It took this long to have an MRI done since the car accident that caused the first concussion, and it shows a 9mm pineal cyst.

When I looked up pineal cysts online, there seems to be little research, but it does consistently state that having one over 5mm can cause headaches and all of the other symptoms I am experiencing.

Just wondering if anyone is in a similar boat, what your doc/neuro has told you and whether the cyst was related to your head trauma at all?

Now I'm not sure whether my symptoms are as a result of PCS, the cyst, or a combination of the two.

Any help would be greatly appreciated...

Thank you!
