A member asked:
I would like more information on cyst in right occipital lobe of the brain?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Depends: A lot depends on the size of the cyst and if there is any associated enhancement on the MRI scan. There are many people who have benign cysts which are fluid filled regions in the brain. These may have a thin membrane around them. If they do not change over time, these do not need surgery. If there is enhancement, they have to be watched closely or biopsied to make certain it is not a tumor.
