Hello,
My little boy is five and only last week they found an AC in my sons cerebellum posterior fossa . I have been told its huge 7cm – 6.5 by 6.5. Looking at the MRI snaps its totally confronting as it takes up most of the space where his cerebellum should be and its pushed his brain up and is impacting on his brain stem. He was admitted into hospital after the finding for a few days while we spoke with more neurologists and neurosurgeons. We are meeting with our Neurologist on the 22nd December and then the surgeons in about a month. They are talking surgery early next year but not completely sure . My son has always had developmental delays and they are thinking that this could be the cause. I wonder how many have had surgery and if you had the AC in that part of the brain. I want it gone but I wonder what will happen to the rest of the brain when it will leave a massive void in the cerebellum. I’m thankful for finding this group and hopefully it will make me less stressed about it all!! Thanks
