I realize this is not the same as cysts at all, but I am confused why my mri showed what they think is a 7mm arachnoid granulation that looks like it has a large vessel going to it, almost a tunneling. I have read these are normal and everyone has them, so why would only one large one show up on my mri. maybe someone could look at my mri photos and let me know what you think? how does it look different than a cyst? or even a tumor? my understanding as a nurse is that cysts show up as a hollow, round look, while tumors show up dense? but when I looked through mri photos that didn't always seem to be the case.

I would greatly appreciate more information and anyone who could look at the mris? also, if anyone has their photos or links, I would love to take a look. thanks so much!

My mri photos also show the other things I have going on, lots of possible things, nothing definite. I put the descriptions from the mri report and my docs on there. I have tons more photos but didn't see the need to upload them all.
