See a neurosurgeon: You are blessed by the time & place in which you live. Boston abounds with excellent neurosugeons with expertise in microneurosurgery, minimally invasive endoscopic techniques, for treating symptomatic arachnoid cysts. Seek referral to one or two of them from your primary care physician. See http://www.ninds.nih.gov/disorders/arachnoid_cysts/arachnoid_cysts.htm
