I fell the other day while moving landed on my left side but held strained to prevent my head from hitting the ground. The next morning I woke up and couldn’t hardly move my neck. The pain on the right side down into my right collar bone and right shoulder was excruciating. I ended up at urgent care and then the ER. They kept asking if I hit my head, I told them repeatedly I did not. They took x-rays and then really became concerned by telling my wife and I they noted bleeding on my brain. They conducted an MRI and now say it is a 9mm hemorrhagic cyst located at the Foramen of Monroe (T3). I have been referred to Neurosurgeon for further tests, monitoring and possible surgery? I just turned 70 and have had the facial AVM my whole life, now this! Is it just coincidence or has anyone else experienced it?
Hi Steve - I am so sorry about your fall. I hope you are recovering well. I have only been symptomatic from my AVM for the past year and a half, after jaw surgery, and no issues with cysts. Although I have swollen lymph nodes in my head and neck area, but I hear that is common. I hope your surgery goes well.
