Irritation: Whenever there is surgery in your body, the healing process includes an inflammatory reaction and process that can create cysts in areas that been subject to bleeding and inflammation. A meningocoele is a cyst formed along the lining of of your meninges, a tissue surface that covers the spinal canal and your brain. Normally, if this cyst does not enlarge over time, no intervention is needed.
