Brain Cyst Stories

Real stories from people affected by brain cysts and cystic lesions.

Here you can read and listen to personal experiences of diagnosis, symptoms, brain surgery, treatment, recovery and life after discovering a brain cyst.

Brain cysts are fluid-filled sacs that can develop in or around the brain. There are several different types, including arachnoid cysts, colloid cysts and epidermoid cysts. Some cause no symptoms, while others may lead to headaches, vision problems, seizures, balance difficulties, hydrocephalus or other neurological symptoms depending on their size and location.

Not every brain cyst is considered a brain tumour, but diagnosis and treatment can still have a significant impact on a person’s life.

Browse the stories below and hear directly from people who have experienced a brain cyst diagnosis.
