Farhad's surgery was a success and the boy is feeling well!

Farhad is eight years old. He goes to school, loves nature and animals. There were no serious problems with his health until the first alarming symptoms appeared last November. The boy became clumsy, lethargic, often lost his balance. In addition, headaches and ringing in the ears made it hard to concentrate during lessons.

Concerned parents went to the hospital, and after an MRI, doctors diagnosed an aggressive arachnoid cyst of the posterior cranial fossa. This means that there is a mass in the brain that is pressing on the cerebellum.

Doctors explained to the parents that the cyst is congenital and benign. If there are no symptoms, no treatment is necessary. But in Farhad's case, it must be removed because it interferes with brain function. Without surgical intervention, the cyst can enlarge and lead to neurological disease, up to and including paralysis.

Let's help the boy with the surgery so that he can be healthy again!
