Neurologist decides: The mayo clinic website says "pineal gland cysts are common. As many as 2 percent of healthy adults develop this kind of cyst. Rarely does a pineal gland cyst cause headaches or any other symptoms. In most cases, no treatment is necessary for a pineal gland cyst." but, one should follow-up closely with the neurologist, in case the cyst changes or grows big enough to press on other brain structures.
