Hello everyone,

The last 13 months have indeed been challenging, it all started off at my former workplace and having head-pains that were unbearable (and at times would render me useless).

After other symptoms starting happening:

- Constant Dizziness
- Lightheadedness
- Loss of feeling in feet or hands (tingling at times)
- confusion
- eye sight problems

I started my search as to what was wrong with me and in the time had seen nearly 10 doctors and had the following tests done.

- CT of Brain with Dye
- EKG
- CT of Skull / Brain
- ENT Check UP
- Endoscopy
- CT of Brain again (no contrast)
- CT of left side sinuses
- Various blood work (cant count the amount) lyme / mono / etc
- CTA Of head
- MRI with no contrast (brain and neck)

all tests came back with no negative findings (apparently I was healthy but barely able to walk)

Finally a month ago I had an MRI / MRA done at a hospital that received a new MRI machine (apparently very high end). My neurologist called me in for a visit and explained that my dizziness was more then likely lightheadedness (due to low salt in my diet). He then at the end of the meeting made a comment I had a small cyst in my brain (no info on what type / how big) I was taken back. He is well known in his field and said "not to worry, as I was more then likely born with it"

The thing is, I have never had any of these issues until now (and why did all the scans miss a lesion. Here is the technicians write up on what he founds. I need as much info / feedback as possible in regards to what is being said


.................................................. ......................................
Symptoms: Dizziness / Confusion / lightheadedness (walking)

FINDINGS:
There is a 6 mm lesion located in central nodule of the vermis. This characterized by homogenous T1 hypointense signal, T2 hyperintense signal, FLAIR hyperintense signal with no enhancement following contrast administration. It causing mild
bulging of posterior wall the fourth ventricle, otherwise no significant mass effect. No hydrocephalus. No other lesions seen.

Supratentorially, there is no mass or mass effect. No acute infarction or hemorrhage. No extraaxial abnormality is identified. The orbits are unremarkable in appearance. The paranasal sinuses are clear. The mastoid air cells are clear. No
extracranial soft tissue abnormality is identified.

IMPRESSION:
Nonenhancing small lesion located in central nodule of the vermis , likely representing a simple cyst with minimal proteinaceous content. However low-grade glioma cannot be without completely. Follow-up in 2 months interval is recommended to assess
any change in size or morphology.
