What to do if you have a cyst in your head

Cysts in the head are mostly cerebral cysticercosis, which should be treated by hospitalization in time. The main treatment is deworming. The process of deworming may cause the patient’s intracranial pressure to increase, and in case of severe intracranial pressure increase, it may cause brain herniation leading to the patient’s death. Commonly used deworming drugs include praziquantel and betel nut pumpkin seeds. If there is an increase in intracranial pressure, cranial pressure-lowering treatment should be given commonly used drugs include mannitol, glycerol fructose and tachyphylaxis. Brain function abnormalities may generally occur, and the presence of somatic signs and symptoms can manifest as hemiparesis, hemianopia and hemianesthesia. Neuroprotective treatment is also given with drugs such as olanzapine, piracetam, cytarabine, cerebroside, inositol and vincristine. If the somatic signs and symptoms are severe, rehabilitation and acupuncture should be given at the same time.
