Hi,
Thanks for writing in.

From the description and response of your doctor, I guess you have an arachnoid cyst in the occipital region. If it was a large one, your doctor would alarm you and advise you accordingly. As you have not mentioned the size of the cyst, it must be a small one.

These cysts can be followed up if there are neurological signs and symptoms at a later date.

Laughing associated with pain is unlikely due to such cysts.

Hope this helps.
