Since childhood, I have had frequent nosebleeds (spontaneous, not caused by any external influences. They happen several times a day). Also severe headaches that happen every day. Dizziness is much less common.

After a medical commission at the military registration and enlistment office, I was sent to a hospital for check-up, where I found out that I had an arachnoid liquor cyst.

Tell me, am I fit to serve in the army???(the doctor from the hospital said that they wouldn’t take me away. The central military registration and enlistment office declared me fit, but I don’t agree with that).

Here are the conclusions of the medical commission from the hospital

Name of the disease:
Main: Residual encephalopathy (perinatal) with intracranial hypertension syndrome, arachnoid cerebrospinal fluid cyst of the right temporal region.

Here are the MRI findings

On a series of T1 and T2 weighted MR tomograms in three projections, sub- and supratentorial structures are visualized. The midline structures are not displaced.

The cortex and white matter of the brain are correctly developed and have normal MRI signal intensity; No focal changes were detected in the brain substance.

The lateral ventricles of the brain are symmetrical, not dilated, sizes are within the age normometry, normal configuration, without leriventricular infiltration. And the 1st ventricle is not dilated. (The Vth ventricle is not dilated or deformed.

No additional formations were identified in the area of ​​the cerebellopontine angles. The internal auditory canals are not dilated.

A single minor local expansion of the subarachnoid space of the right temporal region is revealed, similar to an arachnoid liquor cyst measuring up to 1.6x0.7x1.3 cm. The subarachnoid convexital spaces and grooves of other parts are not expanded.

Infratentorially, in the area of ​​the inferior retrocerebellar cistern, a local expansion of the subarachnoid space is determined, without perifocal gliosis, with slight hypoplasia of the medio-dorsal parts of the cerebellar hemispheres. The remaining basal cisterns are not expanded or deformed.

The cerebellar tonsils are located at the level of the foramen magnum. Craniovertebral junction - without features.

The orbits were without any features, data indicating the presence of obvious pathological structural changes, and no reliably identified foci of pathological changes in the MR signal were identified in their projection. The expansion of the subarachnoid perineural space around the optic nerves is determined.

When examining the brain, the sella turcica and pituitary gland were not changed. Parasellar structures were without features.

In the right maxillary sinus, the presence of a liquid formation with clear contours, a homogeneous structure with high-protein content (T1 hypersignal), measuring 1.4x1.4x2.1 cm (susp complicated cyst?) is determined. Pneumatization of the remaining facial sinuses is not significantly impaired

The diameter of the intracranial segments of the vertebral arteries at the level of visualization is asymmetrical, D>S, narrowed on the left (susp. hypoplasia).

CONCLUSION: MR picture of a small arachnoid liquor cyst in the right temporal region (development option). Indirect MR signs of intracranial hypertension. MR signs of asymmetry of the intracranial segments of the vertebral arteries, narrowing on the left (susp. hypoplasia). MRI signs of a complicated cyst of the right maxillary sinus.

The presence of cystic fluid formations in the brain area cannot but cause concern. Especially in the presence of symptoms, for example, convulsions, pain symptoms, visual and hearing impairment, and others. It should be noted that a cyst is a non-oncological formation. For diagnosis, in addition to magnetic resonance imaging images, images with the introduction of contrast are used to precise definition localization, and for the purpose of distinguishing from a tumor. The causes of the formation of brain cysts can be divided into three - congenital anomalies, traumatic or a consequence of another disease. How do Russian conscripts with a brain cyst undergo examination before the army? Military examination of any disease is based on an assessment of the functioning of the affected organ or body system and the severity of the disorders. Thus, to evaluate a conscript for military service with a brain cyst, doctors carefully study the presence of emotional, intellectual, neurological and other clinical manifestations.

Cerebral cyst and the army

A cerebral cyst forms at the site of a dead area of ​​the brain and is filled with cerebral fluid. A similar name for cysts is retrocerebellar cysts, which are located behind the cerebellum in the anatomical recess. Certain cases of cerebral cysts of the brain are regulated by Article 23 of the Schedule of Diseases. The general explanation to the article states that the commission’s doctors will use this article when examining cerebral and other cysts. The examination of conscripts with congenital brain abnormalities is described in detail in paragraph “d” of the article. This item allows you to apply the fitness category “B-4” to a conscript with congenital cerebral and/or spinal cysts without disruption of brain function. If a cyst is detected on the tomograph image, but it does not manifest itself in any way, does not bother, and there is no pain, then this disease the conscript is considered fit and will be sent to serve with some restrictions (in a certain branch of the military). If an intracerebral (retrocerebellar or cerebral) cyst causes moderate or significant disruption nervous system, then the conscript has the right to expect to be released. Fitness category “D” or “B” is issued upon confirmation of significant damage to the nervous system - it is in these cases that a person with a cyst in the brain is not accepted into the army.

Passing a medical examination with an arachnoid cyst

If a non-oncological formation is detected, and the cause of its occurrence was any external influence (trauma, concussion, etc.), then the examination takes place according to Article 25 of the Schedule of Diseases. The article also examines the presence of hydrocephalus - a violation of the outflow of cerebrospinal fluid from the ventricles of the brain, which accumulates in the form of cysts. In addition, arachnoid and porencephalic cysts of a post-traumatic nature are also taken into account. An arachnoid cyst forms in the area of ​​the arachnoid membranes of the brain. Porencephalic cysts are a rather rare developmental anomaly; in some cases, the cyst can communicate with the ventricles of the brain.

It is understood that if the cyst affects one or another area of ​​the brain, then various complications may appear in the form of: unsteady gait, speech impairment, muscle hypertonicity, convulsions without loss of consciousness, loss of the ability to read and loss of landmarks, tinnitus, hearing impairment, etc. type of visual impairment. There may be many more symptoms than those listed; the conscript will not necessarily experience them if the cyst does not affect areas of the brain. Intracranial pressure, in turn, can cause its own symptoms. It can be of varying intensity headache In addition, nausea, drowsiness, loss of appetite, inattention, and papilledema are observed. The intensity of pain and symptoms will determine when someone with a brain cyst is not accepted into the army. The reason for release is really significant: the presence of a cyst or the formation of fluid requires treatment, observation by a neurologist, sometimes surgery is required, after which rehabilitation and clarification of the presence/absence of symptoms are necessary. The simplest thing you can pay attention to is the presence of headaches, worsening of the condition during physical activity, etc. In any case, the military registration and enlistment office will require a complete medical history (presence of visits to the doctor, their frequency, degree of symptoms, etc.).

Suitability category

Article 25 of the Schedule of Diseases considers the severity of clinical manifestations of the presence of intracerebral cysts. Fitness category “D” (not fit for service) may be considered when a conscript with arachnoid and/or porencephalic cysts experiences increased intracranial pressure with severe neurological symptoms.

People with arachnoid and porencephalic cysts are not accepted into the army if there is increased intracranial pressure with moderate clinical manifestations. Constant or periodic moderate symptoms will allow you to receive a military ID without serving - Article 25 of the Schedule of Diseases, fitness category “B”. Let us clarify that the manifestations are so diverse that there is no point in listing them. The very first thing you need to do is consult a competent doctor. The disease is complex in its manifestations, therefore, in order to be released from service, you need to prepare all the certificates and results for the entire period of the disease.

If the brain cyst is not accompanied by intracranial pressure, then the doctors of the military conscription commission consider the presence of two parameters of manifestations. Firstly, among the scattered organic manifestations there are asymmetry of cranial innervation and anisoreflexia, mild sensitivity disorders, etc. Secondly, the manifestation of asthenoneurotic symptoms and vegetative-vascular disorders is obligatory. Only if symptoms are confirmed in the conscript’s medical history (appeals for medical help), research data will enable the conscript to receive a military ID with fitness category “B” - limited fit, not conscripted in peacetime.

There is one more significant nuance indicated in the Schedule of Diseases, Article 25. A conscript with a brain cyst can get a non-conscription category only in cases where treatment does not help, does not bring relief and symptoms do not go away, including long-term or repeated decompensations.

Often, conscripts diagnosed with a cyst are not taken seriously by the army. Patients believe that such a pathology exempts them from conscription, but this statement is not entirely true. In this article, we will look at what kind of cyst people are recruited into the army with, and how you can get a military ID if you have neoplasms.

Brain cyst: will they take the army with this diagnosis?

Often the cyst is asymptomatic and is detected when a person consults a doctor with complaints of other diseases. Educationis not oncological, often appears as a result of injuries and previous illnesses. May be acquired or congenital.

In accordance with Article 23, the army is contraindicated for those diagnosed with a brain cyst in the following cases:

1. with high blood pressure syndrome and pronounced clinical manifestations;
2. with pressure and moderate clinical manifestations;
3. without high blood pressure syndrome, but in the presence of scattered organic signs (asymmetry of muscle tone, sensitivity disorders, etc.).

In the first case, the young man has the right to count on full fitness category “D”. In the second and third cases, the military registration and enlistment office will give the young man a six-month/year deferment for treatment. If it does not give a positive result or the conscript refuses the help of doctors, then the military commissariat will have to approve the fitness category “B”. If the treatment has a positive effect, the conscript will receive the “B-4” category and go into the army.

Expert opinion

Conscripts who want to get a military ID due to their health either do not know whether it is possible not to serve with their illness, or do not understand how to be exempt from conscription due to their diagnosis. Read the real stories of conscripts who received a military ID in the "" section

Ekaterina Mikheeva, head of the legal department of the Assistance Service for Conscripts

Before issuing a conclusion on the suitability category, the military registration and enlistment office sends the citizen for additional examination. The young man must undergo examinations: MRI, ECG, ultrasound, 24-hour blood pressure monitoring.

Renal neoplasms and call

Whether someone with a kidney cyst is accepted into the army depends on whether the functionality of the organ is affected or not. In the initial stages, a renal tumor may be asymptomatic. Patients often do not know about their health problems. If there are no clinical symptoms and the pathology cannot be detected by palpation, in such cases with a cyst in the kidney they are taken into the army.

Similar situations are typical in the presence of single formations. A kidney cyst and military service in such cases are quite compatible, since a sick soldier will be able to perform military duty on an equal basis with healthy colleagues. The young man may not experience any pain or discomfort.

But even if the patient knows about his diagnosis, the chances of being drafted remain. Based on my experience working in the Conscript Assistance Service, I can note: the military registration and enlistment office often recognizes the army and the army as very compatible. The fact is that members of the military medical commission, when setting the fitness category, are guided by the articles of the Schedule of Diseases.

The relationship between kidney cysts and the army is determined by Article 72. According to the Regulations on Military Medical Examination, a conscript with a similar diagnosis can receive category “D”, “B” or “B-3”. The specific decision depends on several factors.

I’ll tell you in more detail what conditions determine whether someone with a cyst will be accepted into the army. The first thing doctors pay attention to is the number of formations. In other words, what is the conscript’s diagnosis: polycystic disease or a simple/solitary cyst in the kidney. The army is completely banned only if doctors confirm the presence of multiple benign formations.

The fact is that polycystic disease is a fairly serious disease. In the initial stages, it is also characterized by the absence of pronounced symptoms, but the pathology develops quite quickly. As it progresses to a more pronounced form, the patient begins to feel pain and heaviness in the lower back, nausea, headaches, and dry mouth. Over time, the disease leads to a serious impairment of excretory function, and subsequently can cause the development of renal failure.

For these reasons, a conscript with polycystic disease may receive category “D” or “B”:

• If the anomaly has led to significant impairment of excretory function or chronic insufficiency, young people are considered unfit to perform military duty.
• In the normal course of the disease, the draft commission enlists the young man in the reserve.

Exemption from military duty is also possible in the presence of single formations. But in this case, enrollment in the reserve occurs only in the presence of impaired renal function.

To qualify for illness, the conscript must confirm the diagnosis through an additional examination from the military registration and enlistment office. The disease is detected using ultrasound, MRI, CT, emergency urography and angiography. The attending physician will tell you what kind of tests you will have to undergo: a urologist or a nephrologist.

Council of the Recruit Assistance Service

If a conscript was drafted into the army with a kidney cyst, he has the right to write an application for a commission. But it is quite difficult to be released from military service while in a military unit. It is easier to confirm the disease during recruitment events.

Do they enlist in the army with a testicular cyst?

This neoplasm is also benign and occurs hidden. It is found in 1/3 of men who consult a urologist for reasons of pain in the scrotum.

The presence of a tumor may be indicated by:

• scrotal deformity;
• painful sensations when urinating;
• bloating and pressure in the abdomen;
• the appearance of small blisters on the testicles.

The disease corresponds to Article 10 of the Schedule of Diseases “Benign Neoplasms”. In case of moderate or minor functional impairment, young people with testicular pathology are granted a deferment from conscription to undergo treatment. If the treatment does not have an effect, the conscript is given fitness category “B”.

If any neoplasm is present, the conscript receives a deferment for treatment. You have the right to refuse medical intervention; in this case, your fitness category will be determined based on your state of health at the time of your next call-up.

With respect to you, Maria Krylova, lawyer of the Assistance Service for Conscripts.

anonymous, Female, 40 years old

Hello, Andrey Anatolyevich! I come to you again with my problem. I have already written to you about my son’s illnesses. I would like to clarify a number of questions. I will briefly describe our problem. Since childhood, my son has been registered with a neurologist with diagnoses of retrocerebellar cyst of the posterior cranial fossa, encephalopathy, VSD, HCH. At the age of seven I had a heart attack. Our symptoms are as follows: periodic severe dizziness (feelings that objects are “running away” in one direction, headaches (sometimes with vomiting) of a bursting and pulsating nature. During this period (my son is now 20 years old), we underwent treatment several times in outpatient and inpatient conditions. We were treated with serious vascular drugs. All this time, the doctors said that the problem was serious, observation and treatment was needed. The time has come for my son to be drafted into the army. At the draft board, I was assigned category B-4. I am very concerned about the state of my son’s health. physical activity will cause complications. According to the latest examinations: the cyst is 4x5x6 cm in size. The size, in my opinion, is impressive. Doctors still diagnose encephalopathy. It’s not clear whether it is called encephalopathy of complex origin, or dyscirculatory, or something else. Doctors on the PC say that all these diagnoses are congenital and are not non-conscription. Does the type of encephalopathy influence the decision on my son’s suitability for military service? And isn’t a cyst of this size dangerous for military service, because they used to say that physical activity could lead to complications (during our school years we had an exemption from physical education)?

1. I don’t know whether the presence of a cyst in the PCF affects conscription into the army. This is the prerogative of the doctors of the draft commission. For physical activity a cyst is not a contraindication. It does not give any complications. 2. A cyst is not an indicator. ICH needs to be proven by other methods 3. Encephalopathy is translated as a pathology of the large brain, i.e. the so-called brain. It’s not about the cause, but about whether encephalopathy produces organic changes or not. 4. Whether or not the established diagnosis of encephalopathy affects conscription is the prerogative of the doctors of the draft commission.

Thank you very much, Andrey Anatolyevich, for your answer. But I still don’t understand anything. After all, in childhood I had the same symptoms, and the doctors said that everything was serious. and now... The disease persists for a long time, we take serious vascular drugs. How will he be in the army...Thank you again, sorry for your persistence.

It’s unclear because we are talking about the same thing, just from different sides. You keep trying to link it with the cyst, but I tell you that the cyst has nothing to do with it. Unless, of course, your son is diagnosed with Dandy-Walker syndrome or symptom complex. The fact that your son is worried about all sorts of different problems, and that the doctors said that everything was serious (although I really don’t know what serious thing they found in the presence of a retrocelebellar cyst - that is, just empty spaces filled with cerebrospinal fluid or did they mean something else?) could be associated with anything - and with developmental anomalies, and with various vascular problems, and many other reasons. The retrocerebellar cyst itself is not a problem.

Hello, Andrey Anatolyevich! Thank you very much for not ignoring my questions. If the cyst has nothing to do with it, what is the problem? Why does my head hurt to the point of vomiting, why do dizziness recur with varying intensity. So the problem is in the blood vessels? Then why don't doctors take these symptoms into account? They say that the diagnosis of encephalopathy is made when there are problems with the functioning of the brain. But problems are different. It may just be a headache once a week, or it may repeat itself almost every day until you vomit. But the most unpleasant thing is dizziness. If a headache can be calmed with painkillers, then when dizziness begins, you don’t know what to do. How to relieve this symptom. What to do in such a situation. Sometimes the dizziness is severe. He cannot sit, stand, or lie down. Everything floats before my eyes. We start taking Mexidol, first in injections, then in tablets. After some time it becomes easier. But this is repeated and repeated. The encephalopathy that we are given is not an unappealing diagnosis. So I don't know what to do. I'm afraid that with the advent of certain physical activities the situation will become more complicated. What should I do? What to do?

I wrote to you when I answered for the first time. If you have the problems that you describe, then you need to contact neurologists, seek a full examination and clarify the reasons why such problems arise in your son. Your son has a neurological problem, I am a neurosurgeon. And diagnostic questions and clarification of the causes of various pathologies are not carried out on the Internet.

Hello, Andrey Anatolyevich! Thank you very much for your answers. Thank you very much for not ignoring my messages. Andrey Anatolyevich, I read on the Internet that a cyst can burst if it is not treated. Is it so? And one more question. We recently had a consultation with a neurosurgeon at the Republican Hospital in Ufa, and he said that it is impossible to determine whether a cyst is congenital or acquired from images. As children, we were told post-traumatic. Now they are writing a development option. It depends on this whether the son will be drafted into the army or not. If it was acquired due to some reason, then this is not a valid diagnosis. And if it’s innate, then you can serve. How to determine the type of cyst. And what does retrocerebellar arachnoid mean? I thought it was two different types cysts according to their location. Is this exactly what our diagnosis is? Thanks in advance for your answer. Sorry again for the persistence.

1. The cyst does not burst - I wrote to you - it is an empty space where there is no brain, simply filled with cerebrospinal fluid. Empty space does not burst. Even if a true cyst formed after an injury, the so-called hydroma, and suddenly the arachnoid membrane opened, call it “burst,” nothing happens to the person, the cerebrospinal fluid simply pours into the subarachnoid space and that’s it. 2. The neurosurgeon is not entirely right. If it is retrocerebellar, then it is only congenital. In addition, what does the pictures have to do with it? There is an anamnesis, and if there was no severe head injury (and cysts can form only after a severe brain injury, and also if the tumor was removed), it means a congenital cyst. This is all quite well known. 3. The type of cyst is determined mainly by history, location, MRI data, and if the cyst has been present since childhood, then the cyst is 100% congenital. 4. Retrocerebellar - behind the cerebellum, arachnoid - located where the cerebrospinal fluid flows. This is one cyst. 5. I don’t know what your son’s diagnosis is. The one you wrote to me is what I base it on. 6. Send me your photos and I’ll take a look. 7. Why they wrote to your son post-traumatic - I can’t say. Look for documents where it will be written that your son once had some kind of severe trauma somewhere. 8. I wrote to you - “If there are such problems as you describe, then you need to contact neurologists, seek a full examination and clarify the reasons why such problems arise in your son.” That you are attached to this cyst is a wrong way to understand what is happening to your son. Although you need to see the pictures themselves.

Andrey Anatolyevich, hello! It is me again. Last time I didn’t complete the diagnosis. The conclusion states: Retrocerebellar arachnoid cyst of the PCF with partial occlusion of the cerebrospinal fluid pathways, ICH. This very occlusion of the cerebrospinal fluid pathways, how is it dangerous? And we also had a consultation with a neurologist. His conclusion: residual encephalopathy with the formation of hypoplasia of the cerebellar vermis and arachnoid cyst of the PCF, autonomic failure syndrome (angiodystonia), liquor-venous disorders. Recommended: avoid significant physical activity, treatment with antioxidants and nootropics, vegetative correctors. Is the treatment prescribed correctly for our symptoms and established diagnosis?

It seems to me that many of your problems are because of you. Is it really impossible to attach pictures? That you give information in pieces. It’s just a cyst, then something else comes out. Now you write something completely different. The cyst itself does not cause occlusion of the cerebrospinal fluid pathways, because it is empty! Emptiness cannot produce occlusion. What does ICH mean in your words - is it hydrocephalus? Those. enlarged ventricles or what? Because ICH is diagnosed only by studying cerebrospinal fluid pressure and not by MRI. If there is occlusion of the cerebrospinal fluid pathways, enlargement of the ventricles, hypoplasia of the cerebellar vermis - maybe this is not a cerebrospinal fluid cyst, but a tumor cyst??? Or Dandy-Walker syndrome? Have you had an MRI with contrast? And did your son have an MRI or CT scan? If you did a CT scan, then you need to do an MRI. And according to this information, which was sent, your son is not subject to conscription

Hello, Andrey Anatolyevich! The fact that we are getting new and new conclusions is not my fault, but doctors just give them to us. They write one thing, then another. We visit doctors, and they each write their own point of view. We live in the outback. Our level of medical development is far from being highest level. And I’m giving you the information in pieces, because after each visit to the doctor we have more and more new records, new formulations of the diagnosis. ICH is how they formulate intracranial hypertension. We did not have a study of cerebrospinal fluid pressure. All conclusions were made based on MRI data. But they started doing MRIs in our district hospital quite recently. It is quite possible that the conclusions are erroneous. They didn't do an MRI with contrast either. When our son was little, we took him to the republican hospital (he was 7 years old then, now 21 years old), and there he was first diagnosed with an arachnoid cyst. Then they wrote that it was of traumatic origin, because we had a head injury, but I wouldn’t say it was serious. He hit his forehead on an iron pipe while running and fell backwards. I saw all this from the window when they were playing on the playground. I ran, he was lying on the ground, but did not lose consciousness. The local paramedic took a look and said there was nothing wrong. We didn't go to the hospital. There was no nausea or vomiting. Dizziness and headaches began about a month and a half after this incident. First, we were examined at the regional hospital; they could not determine anything. Then they sent me to the republican one. That's where the diagnosis was made. Then they explained to us that all these were symptoms of a cyst. Therefore, until now, I believed that the cyst was to blame for everything. Now I began to understand that the problems were different. I have higher education, but not medical. I always listened to what the doctors said. Studying our problem, I draw completely different conclusions for myself. And every time I get more and more scared. Recently we were again at the Republican hospital. The neurosurgeon we consulted wrote in his conclusion: retrocerebellar arachnoid cyst with partial occlusion of the cerebrospinal fluid ducts, intracranial hypertension. I asked him a question: can complications occur during physical activity in the army? He said: they can’t, but they will. No additional examinations were carried out. But he advised me to do an MRI with cerebrospinal fluid dynamics, to be observed and treated at my place of residence by a neurologist. I can’t send the pictures, because they are not on disk, but on film. It is not possible to scan them. I'll try to do something. I am sending you the conclusions.

Photo attached to the question

1. A retrocerebellar cyst is a congenital cyst. An acquired cyst is formed when a person receives a severe brain injury with destruction of the brain substance, and subsequently a cyst forms in the place of the destroyed brain. Your child did not have this. 2. Why did the problems start, because there is congenital anomaly development of the cerebellum - read the conclusion - “severe hypoplasia, underdevelopment of the cerebellar vermis, cerebellar hemispheres.” These structures are responsible for dizziness. Those. After the injury, compensation for the developmental anomaly most likely occurred. 3. I don’t understand at all why doctors think that there is some kind of occlusion when, according to the MRI doctor’s conclusion, nothing of this is described. Also, according to the MRI, there are not even indirect signs of ICH, and the ventricles are normal. 4. Since there is underdevelopment of the cerebellum, the structures responsible for orientation in space. Naturally, with physical exertion and various activities related to the performance of the service, various problems can and will arise. 5. I don’t know about such an examination - MRI with fluid dynamics???? Thus, I repeat - with such an anomaly of brain development in the form of severe hypoplasia-atresia of the cerebellar vermis, cerebellar hemispheres, as well as the size of the cyst may suggest the presence of incomplete Dandy Walker syndrome - your son will not be conscripted. You are not running into a cyst, but a developmental anomaly - everything is written in the MRI report. The doctor really wrote - a variant of the norm - what is the norm - “severe hypoplasia - underdevelopment of the cerebellar vermis???” Normally there is no atresia. Contact the Soldiers' Mothers Committee.

Andrey Anatolyevich! Thank you very much for your answers. I read about Dandy-Walker syndrome and it became worse than before. I know that we have a PROBLEM, but how can we convince the military registration and enlistment office doctors of this? They assure that the problem is congenital and that means there is nothing wrong. All this is normal. There are no fainting spells, no epileptic seizures, the face is not distorted, the hands are not shaking, standing on his feet means he is healthy. And as for the fact that the head hurts to the point of vomiting, dizziness recurs, they say: “there is no such device that could check this. And if there is no such device, then there is no problem.” Thank you again for your answers. It’s a pity that qualified doctors like you live so far from us. All the best to you!

Thank you, Andrey Anatolyevich! Tomorrow he will go to the regional hospital to see a neurologist. The military registration and enlistment office gave a direction for a neurologist to fill out a health report. Then, with this piece of paper, we go back to the military registration and enlistment office. Allegedly, they will make a decision based on the act. Let's see...If the decision is not in our favor, then I will be forced to contact KSM. Thank you again, Andrey Anatolyevich, for your advice and for answering my questions. I will write to you as soon as any decision is made. And all the best to you!

A cyst is a benign tumor and is a blister filled with fluid. Many live for years with such education, unaware of its existence. But in the army, life proceeds in a different rhythm with increased physical activity, harsh living conditions, which can lead to cyst rupture, hemorrhage, tissue necrosis, or even death.

If a cyst is diagnosed or it is discovered at a medical commission at the military commissariat, it is necessary to study the Law on Military Service to find out whether they are accepted into the army with a cyst, in what cases a deferment is granted or service is contraindicated.

Cyst in the brain

A cyst can form in any organ. If it appears in parts of the brain, the cause is often a stroke or skull injury.

If initially the cyst does not cause problems, then gradually, as it fills with more and more fluid, it begins to disrupt normal blood flow, resulting in headache, tinnitus, and a feeling of pressure in the head. According to the Schedule of Diseases (articles 23 and 25), if a brain cyst is at the initial stage of development and does not manifest itself with any symptoms, young man

may be drafted into the army. The difficulty is that the tumor cannot be detected without an MRI, and such a procedure is not expected at the medical examination.

And if no symptoms are observed, and the young man does not know that he has a tumor in his head, he may be sent to serve.

If a cyst is diagnosed, but does not manifest itself in any way and does not affect brain activity, the conscript is recognized as fit and assigned.

The grounds for, that is, limited fitness, under which a young man is exempt from service in peacetime, but remains liable for military service and can be called up during hostilities, are:

• moderate headaches;
• sleep disturbance;
• problems with blood pressure (hypertension, hypotension, lability of pressure, when it sharply “jumps” up and down);
• persistent heart pain;
• vegetative-vascular disorders (tachycardia, sweating);
• persistent arrhythmia requiring treatment;
• slight or no increase in ICP.

Exemption from service for health reasons in accordance with Articles 25 and 23 of the Schedule of Illnesses is given if a conscript is diagnosed with a pineal, cerebral, arachnoid cyst, accompanied by increased ICP and pronounced neurological symptoms (severe headaches, loss of consciousness, blurred vision, paralysis of certain parts of the body) , the presence of which is documented and confirmed by doctors.

In this case, the young man has the right to be removed from military registration with category “D”. But to obtain it, an additional examination is carried out, which includes an ECG, MRI, and ultrasound examination of cerebral vessels.

When education is isolated and at the initial stage of development, it does not cause problems. And if by chance a kidney cyst was not detected earlier, then the young man is considered fit for service.

But if there is pain in the lower back, fever, impaired urination, or a sharp deterioration in a person’s condition caused by a neoplasm, the military commissariat must grant the conscript a deferment for the duration of treatment.

If, after removal of the cyst, positive dynamics are noted and kidney function is preserved, the conscript is considered fit for service.

To confirm your disease, you need to provide the results of an ultrasound examination of the kidneys, CT, MRI, angiography, urography.

Cyst of the testicle and its appendages

A cyst of the epididymis or the testicles themselves is found in every third man who goes to the doctor with pain and discomfort in the scrotum.

The disease is classified under Article 10 of the Schedule of Diseases. If there is a cystic formation on the testicles or their appendages (spermatocele), if the conscript complains of constant pain, a feeling of heaviness in the groin, discomfort during movement, then he is given a delay of 6-12 months for examination and treatment.

After this, it is necessary to undergo a re-examination at the military registration and enlistment office, based on the results of which the question is decided whether a particular conscript with a testicular cyst will be accepted into the army. It is assigned either category “B” if everything went well, or “B” or “D” if the disease led to serious health problems.

The disease occurs during intrauterine development. In the absence of provoking factors, the cyst does not cause problems throughout life. The tumor can become inflamed and increase in size due to injury, constant hypothermia, and infectious diseases.

Retrocerebellar cyst of the coccyx, like a similar brain tumor, - serious pathology. To obtain category “B”, it is necessary that at the time of passing there was an exacerbation of the disease, and that at least 3 surgical interventions to remove the cyst had previously been performed.

If there is inflammation, then a delay for treatment is provided.

Conservative treatment does not give a lasting result, so surgical removal of the cyst is most often performed. Rehabilitation after surgery lasts 30 days and the same amount of time will need to be spent limiting physical activity. Thus, a delay of 6 months is quite enough.

Sinus cyst

Sinus cyst refers to functional disorders of the respiratory system after injuries, operations, acute diseases or exacerbation of chronic pathologies. Illness does not give an exemption from service.

A cystic formation gives the right, at a minimum, to receive a deferment from the army if it interferes with normal life activities. In any case, cysts must be treated, otherwise, as they develop, they cause complications, and in some cases lead to death.
