What is a brain cyst? Is it serious?

Brain cyst is a relatively serious brain disease. It is mainly caused by the accumulation of fluid in the brain. The fluid in the brain needs to be drained, otherwise the fluid in the brain will compress the nerves, causing memory degeneration and neurological abnormalities in patients. For serious brain diseases such as brain cysts, patients are advised to choose a regular brain hospital for surgical treatment, and adjusting their mentality will help the success of the operation.

There are certain differences between brain cysts and brain tumors. Brain tumors are substantial, while brain cysts are often liquid-like. When CT scan reveals solid lesions in the brain, in addition to considering brain tumors, there are actually other diseases such as brain cysts that need to be further ruled out. The symptoms of brain cysts are sometimes very similar to those of brain tumors, and can cause symptoms such as headaches, vomiting blood, hemiplegia, and intracranial hypertension. So what are the differences between brain cysts and brain tumors, and how should we distinguish them? Let’s take a look.

Steps/Methods:

1. First: Brain cyst refers to a cystic tumor formed by brain tissue and its appendages, which produces varying degrees of intracranial pressure symptoms. During the formation period of space-occupying lesions, brain tissue is compressed by the expansion of the cyst, producing a series of compressive symptoms.

2. Second: Brain tumors are primary tumors that grow in the skull. Although they can be divided into benign and malignant, since the volume of the cranial cavity cannot expand, any type of tumor can directly cause local damage to brain tissue, affect cerebral blood circulation, block cerebrospinal fluid circulation pathways, cause intracranial hydrops or cerebral edema, and threaten the patient's life.

3. Third: Whether it is a brain cyst or a brain tumor, having this disease will have a great impact on people's health, especially their intelligence. Therefore, whether it is a brain cyst or a brain tumor, you should not take it lightly, but actively cooperate with the doctor's treatment.

Note:

Regardless of whether it is a brain cyst or a brain tumor, early detection, early diagnosis, and early treatment are the most important things and require special attention. Many patients have lost their lives because they did not receive timely treatment, so people must pay great attention to this issue.
