Hi,
Thank you for posting your query.
Based on the information you have provided, the most likely cause for the lesion in the
cerebellum would be a post-inflammatory or post-infective lesion.
An
arachnoid cyst is normally present from birth, so, if it was not seen in your earlier scans, it is unlikely to be an arachnoid cyst.
Similarly for
glioma or a cancer to be cystic is quite rare.
I would think you should wait and watch and repeat an
MRI after 6-8 weeks to see the resolution or progression of the lesion, to decide about any surgery.
Please get back if you require any additional information.
Best wishes,
