Septal cyst
The human brain is such a complex organ that it has not yet been thoroughly studied. Modern science continues to actively study the features of its structure and functioning. In the human brain, there are many departments, each of which performs a specific function, but all these departments are inextricably linked.
Often, after undergoing magnetic resonance therapy, in the conclusion you can read a lot of incomprehensible terms, which only an experienced specialist can understand. One of these terms is "cyst of the transparent septum of the brain."
This diagnosis is not uncommon. In about 25% of patients who undergo an MRI, you can see a similar record in the examination results. What kind of diagnosis is this?
The human brain is covered with three layers of meninges: hard, arachnoid (arachnoid) and soft membrane. Under the arachnoid membrane there are fluid spaces in which the cerebrospinal fluid circulates (the fluid environment surrounding the brain). The transparent septum of the brain consists of two thin plates of the medulla, which are separated by a slit cavity located between the anterior part and the fornix of the corpus callosum. Septal cyst is a type of arachnoid cyst when fluid accumulates between the plates of the transparent septum of the brain.
Causes of cysts of the transparent septum of the brain
By origin, such cysts are divided into congenital (primary) and acquired (secondary). Acquired cysts can be caused by various diseases, inflammatory processes in the lining of the brain, trauma, concussion and hemorrhage.
The cyst of the transparent septum is localized in a certain part of the brain, in the safest place.
When the patient receives the results of magnetic resonance therapy with the result of "arachnoid cyst of the transparent septum of the brain", he should seek the advice of a neurosurgeon or neurologist.
Septal cyst symptoms
You should know that the cyst of the transparent septum of the brain is not a pathology, but a developmental anomaly. In the vast majority of cases, a cyst is a variant of the normal anatomy of the brain, which does not pose a significant risk to the patient. Such a cyst is asymptomatic and does not require special treatment.
But if the cyst is not congenital, but acquired, and is caused by various diseases or injuries, it can have symptoms such as headache, headache, tinnitus, hearing impairment and other signs.
The main danger of such a cyst is the possibility of its uncontrolled growth, as a result of which it begins to put pressure on any part of the brain, making it difficult for its full-fledged work.
That is why the cyst requires regular monitoring with an MRI scan. The doctor will recommend that the patient undergo periodic magnetic resonance therapy every 6 to 12 months.
Septum cyst treatment
If, according to the results of the next control study, it turns out that the cyst is increasing in size, this means that the damaged factor continues to have a negative effect on the brain, therefore this is an impetus to search for the cause that contributed to the appearance and growth of the cyst.
MRI can only provide information about the location and size of the cyst, but a thorough examination of the patient for autoimmune diseases, infectious processes, and circulatory disorders can help to establish the cause of its occurrence. The patient undergoes an examination of the heart on an ECG and ECHO-KG, a study of blood flow through the vessels of the brain on an ultrasound scan, a blood test for coagulation and cholesterol levels, blood pressure monitoring, tests for various infections, etc.
In some cases, drug treatment of the cyst of the transparent septum may be prescribed with the help of absorbable and nootropic drugs.
About more than half of such cysts do not need any treatment at all, however, direct treatment of the disease that provoked the appearance of the cyst can be prescribed.
