Need neurosurgeon: Your answer will be found with a neurosurgeon. Okay to check with your local neurosurgeons and your local doc. You might be sent to a tertiary/university center. Take your family/friends with you. Don't delay.

Is surgery needed?: That area is able to be reached surgically, but the real question is: does this lesion need surgery? Many findings on MRI do not require surgery. Sometimes, watching and waiting (with repeat mris) is the best course. Too many variables here to fully answer this question. Consultation with a neurosurgeon is warranted.
