Question

Will an infant’s cerebral venous sinus cyst disappear on its own? How long does it usually take to disappear? Is the baby’s thin spot on the left back of the head a cyst? I had an ultrasound done eleven days ago; could you please take a look at the photos and examine them carefully! How big is this cyst? Thank you!

Answer

Based on the detailed examination of the baby, the cyst is not large. Most cerebral venous sinus cysts can resolve spontaneously, and if there are no symptoms of hydrocephalus or developmental delay, there’s no need to worry. Pay close attention to the growth and development, and if there is continued growth or compression, it may lead to developmental delay. It is recommended to re-examine after 1 to 3 months for careful observation. Further examination of growth and development is suggested, and once gastrointestinal issues are ruled out, attention should be given to neurological growth and development issues. Children with abnormal muscle tone are also prone to crying, and massaging the entire body with cod liver oil and B12 can help alleviate symptoms.
