Are Seizures Related To Cyst In Pineal Area?

My son has new onset seizures, he's 16, also newly found 2.4 cyst in pineal area. I think cyst is related to seizures but MD's saying no. No family history of seizures. EEG negative, was not prolonged-videeo tetsting, labs all normal. Third time he had seizures, starts focal then generalized. Could this cyst be related? If so how to make MD believe this.
