    A brain injury sustained as a child may impact on a persons development in terms of developmental milestones, cognitive development however shouldn't have an impact on actual physical  growth - depending on the location and severity of the injury. The injury itself wouldn't cause infections but the mechanism of the injury may - ie if it was a penetrating injury or open head injury. Again in relation to cysts - these are most likely a reult of an infection or may be sebascous cysts.Brain injury will affectn memory in most cases and may cause headaches. in any case with any of these symptoms you should be consulting with a doctor for diagnosis and ongoing treatment.
