I am Ava's mom. My baby was born last week and she is in the nicu recovering from duodenal atresia surgery. She is on the road to recovery and we are very grateful.

Today the nurse practicioner called and informed us that on a routine brain scan they noticed some cysts on Ava's brain. She said that sometimes they go away, sometimes they stay but have no effect on development, or sometimes there is neurological impairment.

Has anyone else encountered this with their kids or have any information?

Thanks.

With my sister they found cysts in the brains of 2 of her children on sonogram before they were born. They told her it was nothing to worry about and that they would go away and they did. I'm not sure if they are the same after birth, but I would assume if the nurse told you not to worry, that they are probably the same thing.

HI there Heather,
My baby Sean is nearly 15 months born prem 8.5 weeks and had duodenal atresia as well, hence an operation, total blockage of the bowel. we were in a childens hospital here in Ireland for 10 weeks in total. Since then we have had problems with consipation, reflux, airways, you name it we had it. we had a terrible first year, Since he has turned one, to our amazement, he is flying, no heart problems, I give im poo softner each day, he has a great appetite, still has reflux, and is a dreadfully HAPPY CHAPPIE, hes georgous, never hardly cries, and is a source of inspiration of myself and my hubbie. I have to say and my Paed says the same the first year, he was a very sick baby, since his birthday or even maybe from about 9 months old, everything is sorting itself oout with Intervention and loads of appointments, Cysts usually go themselves, perhaps they will do a biopsy on them. the main thing is for you to try and rest, sleep, etc. as you will need it for when AVA (lovely Name) gets out of hospital. The best of luck and keep reading, you will be amazed at your little honey... Fiona Mam to Sean and Wife to Peter, Ireland.
