General Conversation
Pineal cysts are benign (non-cancerous) fluid-filled sacs located approximately the human brain that contains the pineal gland. Little pineal cysts (.5 centimeters or smaller) are common incidents, usually discovered incidentally on routine neurological exams. Little pineal cysts rarely create signs (asymptomatic). Larger pineal cysts are uncommon findings that might cause a range of symptoms (symptomatic). Symptoms could include migraines, raised pressure on the human brain as a result of accumulation of excessive cerebrospinal fluid (hydrocephalus), and vision irregularities. Big symptomatic pineal cysts might potentially cause significant problems such as seizures and loss of consciousness. The specific cause of symptomatic pineal cysts is unidentified.
