Hi,

I am Dr.Bruno. I have read your question with care and understand your concerns. Let me try to help you

Question : How to cure cyst of 14mm in the pineal gland?
Answer :
The Cure depends on the Nature of the Cyst and the Contents of the Cyst
If it is a only CSF, then a Minimally invasive aspiration under Stereotaxy or Neuronavigation Guidance may solve the problem
If the cyst has some other content, we have to subject the contents to Cytology Analysis

If the contents are Benign, and if the Cyst is producing Problems by Compressing Other Vital Structures, We may have to do Surgery
If the contents are Benign, and If the cyst is not disturbing other tissues, we can wait and watch
If the contents are malignant, surgery may be needed

Hope you found the answer helpful.
