    Pineal Cyst Symptoms
    I am a 26year old female who was just diagnosed with a pineal cyst in the center of my brain (1.3cm) . I have been experiencing severe headaches, fatigue and vision problems. I am told that this is nothing to do with my condition and what's causing these symptms is iron deficency. I have been taking iron supplements for 2 motnhs now to no avail. My doctor has stated in 4 months I will need another MRI to check the size of the cyst. I want to know if this cyst is causing my symptoms and what can I do to prevent any adverse reactions. Also, what are the risks of this cyst rupturing? I have a 2 year old daughter that I do not want growing up without her mother. Thank you for your help.

    Unfortunately these are questions you will have to bring up with your doctor. We are not doctors here and can only offer you advice and support.

    Here are a couple websites that deal with pineal cysts. These should answer your questions in relation to associated symptoms:

    Pineal Cyst
    Pineal Gland Cyst

    You can also search "cyst on pineal gland" and find a large amount of very solid information. The condition is not uncommon.
