Hi,
Thank you for posting your query.
First of all, I would like to reassure you that pineal cysts are common and are not of serious concern.
It is a benign condition and does not increase in size that fast. 2mm difference in size in 3 weeks is probably due to measurement issues, and not the real increase in size. Typically, the
MRI scan should be repeated after 6 months, and then, one has to take a decision to operate or leave it alone.
Please discuss these issues with a neurosurgeon.
I hope my answer helps. Please get back if you have any follow up queries or if you require any additional information.
Wishing you good health,
Dr Sudhir Kumar MD (Internal Medicine), DM (Neurology)
