Hello Becky--I have a Posterior Fossa Arachnoid cyst about the size of a golf ball. It seems that I have had it for many years--maybe since birth. I am 49yrs old. As of right now the surgeon has not opted to do surgery on me. They are so successful in treating these cysts, and I am sure you are seeing a surgeon who specializes in this condition---and it is always good to get a second opinion also?? How old are you and what are your symtoms?? I wish you all the best----hutch

Hi becky--Is this something you have dealt with for a long time?? If so, when did your symptoms start? I also have terrible headaches, dizziness and confusion but am not sure which pertains to my AC or other neuro problems that I have--its difficult to say. I am glad you have alot of faith in your surgeon---that is so important! I wish you only the best with your surgery and a very speedy recovery, with relief of your symptoms. Take good care of yourself-------hutch
