Sorry to hear about your cyst, unfortunately you are probably right about the cyst and the hydrocephalus. Thanks for the info.

I didn’t have hydrocephalus but a subarachnoid cyst when I was an baby and I got seizures 17 years ago and they started to get better but the shunt I have for the cyst messed up 14 years ago. My seizures have gotten worse since then and I think it was because of the pressure from the cyst which was on where my seizures happen. I think both hydrocephalus and cysts can be a common causes for epilepsy.
