Hello and welcome to EmpowHer,
Arachnoid cysts usually remain constant in size and do not cause symptoms. If there are no symptoms, no treatment is necessary. In most cases doctors simply keep an eye on it and if anything changes they re-evaluate. Symptoms possible can include: headaches, seizures and abnormal accumulation of excessive cerebrospinal fluid in the brain (hydrocephalus).
Arachnoid cysts can remain untreated and harmless for years. But your doctor will tell you if the MRI shows anything abnormal.
