What does supratentorial arachnoid cyst diagnosis mean?
Patient's Query
Hello doctor,
I have a headache, back and right chest pain, nausea, blurred vision, and dizziness. MRI brain suggests an arachnoid cyst (2.2 x 1.6 cm). MRI spine suggests straightening of the cervical spine, scoliosis of the upper dorsal spine, decreased L4-L5 disc space with mild vertebral waist, probably congenital, right posterior lateral osteophytosis at the L4 and L5 level, causing right neural foraminal narrowing.
Please suggest.
Thank you.

Hi doctor,
I have had a headache for around 10 days now. Sometimes I feel dizzy, and my vision becomes blurred. My back is hurting so much, and my right chest is also painful. I feel like my energy is draining.
Thank you.
Hello,
Welcome back to icliniq.com.
Your scan is showing the cervical spine has straightened; it may be due to spasm or cervical spondylosis, which may cause giddiness and vertigo. Right side chest pain, maybe due to scoliosis or radiculopathy.
Take vitamin D 60k once a week for five weeks. Starting physiotherapy and exercise may help. Use Pregabalin 75 mg once a day at night (for radicular pain). If no improvement, please consult a neurosurgeon, who may do a decompression.
I hope this helps.
Thank you.

And what about my headache?

Hi,
Welcome back to icliniq.com.
Use tablet Naprosyn 250 (Naproxen) twice a day for headache for five days.
I hope this helps.
Thank you.
Same symptoms don't mean you have the same problem. Consult a doctor now!
