A member asked:

How dangerous cyst in right occipital lobe of brain?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Cyst in the brain: If it is just a cyst then there is no real danger other than a slight increase in bleeding. The key question is that this cyst is not associated with another lesion. Arachnoid cysts are now commonly found as part of mr studies.
