Wow a minute. This is a benign lesion in a tricky part of the brain. They can block the fluid around the brain but this is rare. You need to see a neurosurgeon who will advise you on your particular cyst, it's size and location, and give you the options for removal.

One fears the cost of the Neurosurgeon, will trigger a need to visit a Cardiologist ... :uhoh:

It is a watch and wait.....another MRI in May and a visit to the Neurologist, if no bigger...MRI in 12 months.....if no bigger...MRI 24 months......
If at any time bigger...then well......let's worry about that then.........
