Common Questions and Answers about Seizure symptoms cyst
seizure
I have had a cyst in my frontal lobe since I was 5 yrs old. The doctors mentioned that the cyst was dead due to excess of calcium. At age 5 I had a seizure but nothing was done about it. At age 13 I had two more seizures and thats when doctors put me on Tegretol 200mg. An MRI was taken at age 5 and at age 13, the size of the cyst remained the same. The seizures only occur while I am asleep. As of now the Tegretol has worked but pretty soon I wont have insurance to cover the medicine.

HI! I am a 25 year old female. I have dealt with ovarian cysts in the past, starting when I was 17. I've had three that I know of rupture, followed by intense abdominal pain that usually last about 30 minutes. Monday I was getting ready for bed as usual when I fell completely limp, hands clenched, eyes dilated fully and open and was out about 30-40 seconds. When I came to I had no recollection of the event.
As your husband's pineal cyst is 1cm, the seizure can be due to the pineal cyst. Cysts smaller than 5mm (half a cm) rarely cause symptoms.
"Larger pineal cysts are rare findings that may cause a variety of symptoms (symptomatic). Symptoms may include headaches, increased pressure on the brain because of accumulation of excessive cerebrospinal fluid (hydrocephalus), and vision abnormalities.
Wow, I am very sorry to hear about your son...This scares me as I have a pineal cyst too...I have never had a seizure though so I can't relate to that.
What is the size of his cyst? Mine is 12mm...
I meet w/ a surgeon & he recommended I wait 2 months & have another MRI to see if it has grown and then at that time, we would discuss surgery options. The thought of having brain surgery scares the crap out of me, but so does the thought of what could happen if it gets worse...
2 years ago i started having pressure like symptoms on my brain. Got a cat scan. Doctor said i have an arachnoid cyst on left temporal lobe of brain. Doctor said go home dont worry bout it. Symptoms persisted for 2 more weeks, I thought i was gonna die, then .. they were gone. 1 year ago i quit drinking. by the third day i was feeling better until .. the symptoms returned with a vengeance. I continued drinking and symptoms left .. 3 days ago i stopped drinking .. today ..
s any big deal but I think my symptoms are worsening and I wonder if the cyst is growing. In May when I go back to the Doc for my script refill, I'm going to tell him I want tested to see if it has grown. I sympathize completely with everyone that has this, and I DO think it's a big deal and should not be dismissed as a NOTHING. Anything growing in your brain in such a dangerous area can't be good.
my husband had a cyst removed from the third ventricle in his brain about 4 years ago. before the cyst was found he never experienced a seizure. he had a seizure about a 1 year and 6 months ago, and recently had another. they both occurred while he was sleeping and were very frightening. Is it common to have seizures so long after a craniotomy? if anything, what triggers them?
Thank you.
My son has his first seizure. After the CT scan, they found a cyst in his brain. The doctor in the emergency room told me that he doesn't need to be medicated unless the seizure comes back. We are waiting for MRI and EEG. I don't have more information on the cyst at this point. He practices martial arts. Would you let me know how serious the cyst will be and the causes? Should he continue practice martial arts? What are the do's and don'ts? He is going through puberty.
My son is 2-1/2 and we had 2 clean EEGs, MRI findings with lower brain volume on left compared to right with choroid plexus cysts. Both findings are said to be benign findings. His "seizures" are usually unwittnessed and during sleep. Will waken with a right foot drop and loss of speech ability. Neuro says the MRI findings don't have any true correlation to the other symptoms. How can this be?
Recently I began having seizure-like activity (note: not diagnosed seizures) in which my limbs would shake and move uncontrollably, I would black-out, and then when woken from this episode, be completely disorientated. I wouldn't know where I was immediately, or know answers to questions that I should know easily (example: what's your middle name?) I would slur my speech, speak very slowly, and speak as little as possible.
Hello,
I am a 25 year old male, 5’11, 190 pounds and have been having a lot of pressure in my head and ears headaches and feel off balance, I wake up frequently during the night this has been going on for years now ( headaches are not chronic but they can get very excruciating), also what seems like simple partial seizures, I had an MRI of the brain which showed a 13 mm pineal cyst and also a smaller cyst.
I do think it is close enough though, they do too or they would not wait. In the meanwhile any change in symptoms or seizure activity and both of you should review s-s of seizures and brain tuor possible syptoms so that you know what to watch for should be reported immediately!! Especially a grand mal seizure which would deem a medical emergency in his case for sure and a 911 call. I know I am sooo reassurring huh?
I had an arachnoid cyst removed in 2005. I had a seizure as a result of the cyst pressing on my brain. At the time I had no knowledge on what my condition even was, I just went with what the dr. Said and had it removed within 5 days of finding out it was there. I do wish I would have researched diff. treatment options before I just let the Dr. cut out part of my brain. It seemed to be a great fix at first but several years later I am still dealing with symptoms:( You def.
1) The most common symptom is headaches, followed by vision problems and dizziness, and in some cases insomnia, nausea and cognitive deficits, particularly if cognitive deficits are involved. Seizure is uncommon, unless the cyst is large and causing a lot of intracranial pressure or hydrocephalus. I would have your daughter get an MRI to see whether she has a pineal cyst too.
2) Pineal cysts can be symptomatic if they are larger than 0.5 cm.
You have multiple symptoms that require evaluation. I recommend you discuss all your symptoms with your primary doctor (family physician) and he/she will then be able to order appropriate testing and refer you to appropriate specialists. Evaluation by a neurologist would be appropriate regarding your headaches, shaking episodes, and sleep disturbances, but you may need evaluation by other specialists if your primary doctor feels some of your symptoms are consistent with cardiac disease.
I was 18 when my seizures started . I had never been sick or had any health problems before I got pregnant . I was 5 months pregnant when they started and now at 22 the only thn they have found is an arachnoid cyst on the right side with a CT but now 30 test later they can't find it anymore . Every EEG that I have had i never have a seizure on them . I recently got a letter saying that there was more slowing on my right temporal lobe and i needed to be treated for depression .
m a 26 yr old female, I smoke but am otherwise healthy. About 5 days ago I had what I believe to be a seizure and have been "off" ever since. I've never had anything like this happen before. I had just woke up and got dressed and sat down on the bed. It then felt as if my entire brain was shorting out(for lack of a better term), my vision went completely blurry and my ears started ringing, then all hearing ceased.
9 months ago I had a cyst removed in my throat and during surgery the docs cut a 1 inch hole in my pharax. I couldn't eat solid foods for 7 months and even now I am in continuous pain, have trouble swallowing and eating and I have constant pain behind my head and in my ear. I found out a few months ago that the docs also damaged the vagus nerve number 10. I have been told that there is no cure for me and I will stay in pain. Are there any other options out there?
My dad is 76 years old and has been recently diagnosed to have an Arachnoid cyst in his frontal lobe. He has had 2 episodes where he lost consciousness for less then a minute. His eyes were rolled up and he did not remember anything of the episode. We are meeting with the neurosurgeon to understand the next steps. Otherwise he does not have any other symptoms. Looking at his age we are worried that surgery may do him more harm or help.
Hi, Thank you for your question. His symptoms could be due to enlarged cyst or white matter disease (microangiopathic gliosis). In white matter disease or microvesicular ischemic disease of brain, pathology is associated with the brain white matter, either exclusively or in combination with grey matter changes. It occurs due to metabolism errors, exogenous toxins released by virus, autoimmune disease, leukodystrophy, demyelination, and radiation effects.
Our child was diagnosed with ADHD, TS, and Seizure Disorder. Our child does have facial twitching, shoulder shrugs, and various other things, as well as ADD symptoms like daydreaming in class, not completing assignments, being forgetful, etc. I could list them all but I'm sure that's really necessary.
They did an EEG and blood work and urine tests to rule out other things such as lead and copper and such.
