Hello,

If no significant symptoms then following up with MRI is sufficient. In such cases, the MRI should be done 6 months to one year apart. If there are neurological symptoms treatment with stereotactic surgery to evacuate the contents of the cyst should be considered. Discuss with the Neurosurgeon for these issues.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
