Pineal cyst and TBI

Hi,

further to my first post a few days ago, I’ve received the below report from my mri with contrast.

has anyone else suffered a mild TBI and also had a large cyst with the below findings?

I’m worried if I risk surgery I will only see minor improvement due to TBI or could be hopeful removing the cyst gives a huge relief to my cognition, memory and vestibular issues along with fatigue.

From report:

A proteinaceous pineal cyst is demonstrated with maximal dimensions measuring 16.9 x 9.2 mm on the sagittal

FLAIR sequence. Some heterotopic calcification is noted on the rostral aspect of the cyst.

There is modest local mass-effect but no compression on the tectum or sylvian aqueduct. No hydrocephalus is shown.

No pathological enhancement is seen postcontrast.

The remaining intracranial appearances are unremarkable.

Interval imaging in a year is suggested.

A neurosurgical consult would also be prudent.
