Katybug Posted September 4, 2014 Report Share Posted September 4, 2014 Are they sure it's a cyst and not a pheocromocytoma? Just wondering if that was ruled out since it can be an underlying cause of POTS. Otherwise, glad the brain is lookin' good! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krissy21 Posted September 4, 2014 Report Share Posted September 4, 2014 Yes pheochromocytomas can cause POTS symptoms but they occur in the adrenal glands, above the kidneys, not in the pituitary gland which is at the base of the brain. I'm curious too, is the cyst causing any symptoms? Glad everything looked good otherwise! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Katybug Posted September 4, 2014 Report Share Posted September 4, 2014 Sorry for the misfire on the brainwaves regarding the pheos...Krissy is right. But there is sort of benign pituitary tumor that can contribute to POTS and now I can't find the official name. I'll keep looking and see if I can find anything.
