Background :

AT our 19 week US they discovered a cyst on our little ones head..... no one actually knew what it was - they needed a 2nd US to be done .. 1 week later and a whole lot of heartache and stress they said worst case it could be a NT defect... least case a scalp cyst... We hoped to god for a scalp cyst.

We had the 2nd US and was told it was likely to be what they call en Epidemoid cyst - a rare condition that they see maybe once every 4 years ....

They requested us to have an MRI to confirm that the brain was not attached to the cyst .

We had an MRI today and they have confirmed that it is ontop of the bone - and under the skin OUR best case scenario ...

OMG i cant explain the feeling of relief ater they told us the results..

I have to thank the doctors that have been looking after us from the Lyell McEwin, Womens and Childrens hospital in Adelaide they have been fantastic and we are public but we have been seen by some of the best .... they hold a special interest in this as they are so rare.

SO MY LITTLE GIRL IS OK and she will probably need to have the cyst removed after birth....



we still need to be followed up to see if it grows, and they may want to follow her up afterwards aswell which i am so happy to do if i can help another mum and dad by allowing my daughter to be monitored i am all for it
