Brief Answer:
Yes, Intraspinal Cyst can cause pain in the leg.

Detailed Answer:

Hi,

A cyst, if it inside the spinal canal. Can act as a space-occupying lesion and pinch anyone nerve or more than one nerve depending on its size and location.
The nerve which is pinched might cause irritation on the nerve to leg causing pain and loss of function.

I recommend you share the MRI Report or any other data to know more about it So that I can be more elaborate on answers.
Thanks.
