The features are most likely to represent at benign cystic lesion, possibility of a neurenteric cyst need consideration.

Treament is going on with the consulation of Neurosurgeon doctor from last 5 months but how much time it will take no idea. Please reply on YYYY@YYYY
If no significant symptoms then following up with MRI is sufficient. In such cases, the MRI should be done 6 months to one year apart. If there are neurological symptoms treatment with stereotactic surgery to evacuate the contents of the cyst should be considered. Discuss with the Neurosurgeon for these issues.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
