Question Shunted Arachnoid Cyst Q&A
Hello all,
This is my first "thread" and I hope I am doing this right. My son has a shunted arachnoid cyst, since he was 5 years old (he is now 10). He has no problems at all. As a matter of fact, everything has been gravy!! However, recently we had his yearly MRI scans done, and the Dr pointed out the fact that his brain has slightly dropped down into the brain stem. He stated, there was nothing to worry about, but that we would keep an eye on it.
Has anyone experienced or heard of this?

Thanks!
