Have Parietal Porencephalic Cyst On Left Side Of Brain, Headaches, Ear Pain, Muscle Weakness, Vision Is Affected. What The Best Treatment For Me?

I am an adult that has a Parietal Porencephalic Cyst on my left side of the brain. Recently , I ve had headaches and ear pain on the left side. I have had muscle weakness on my right side since birth. Also , my vision is affected in my left eye. One Dr. thought they would put a shunt in. Saw one nuerologist who said not to do surgery. Wants me to go to another nuerologist. When I don t have pain, I have a lot of pressure on left side of face. Confused , scared as no one never told me exactly what I had. Years a go , they never said what I had.How do I know what the best treatment for me is. Dr. also talked about seizure activity. A little scared at this point.

Hi
I better understand your concern, thank for choosing HCM, in such cases I personally ask for some reports, like ct scan documentations or MRI, form the over all of your history I would advise you for a shunt this will give you some relief & will definitely stop further damage to the surrounding tissues, better consult some good neurosurgeon ( Shunting is not permanent solution, shunt get blocks in few days, but mean while it finishes it's job ) take care. Have good time.
