Guest guest Posted December 3, 1998 Report Share Posted December 3, 1998 Please help me!! I reported to you all a few weeks ago, that the neurologist casually mentioned an abnormality in my daughter's brain in the frontal lobe that he had never mentioned before and refused to elaborate on. Well, I was so angry that I made an appointment with another neurologist at another hospital and requested the records sent to him. The receptionist only wanted the neurology records but as a precaution, I requested the MRI reports and also that duplicate copies be sent to me. I just got them today and I am furious!!! In addition to reporting cerebral hypoplasia (definition anyone?) in the first MRI, the second one (done 16 months later) reports a lesion posterior to the left choroidal fissure most likely representing an arachnoid cyst. Does anyone know what an arachoid cyst means? I have 2 long weeks to go before our neurology appointment and I am a wreck. The report also states that a follow up MRI is recommended in 6 months (this was 14 months ago, and no one has ever told me of a lesion or of any need for a follow up MRI so of course she hasn't had one. Any comments would be appreciated. Pleeeease say many prayers for me, I have not been this worried about my daughter since her last open heart surgery. My wild imagination is worried about many unspeakable things. This doesn't look like a simple error. The remainder of the report matches my daughter's previous MRI and everything else is in order. I just hope this isn't something very serious. Jeanne McMullen mom to Caitlyn who needs many prayers right now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
