First I need to know if the "cyst" is composed of neural epithelium or just located there before I try and find procedures used to treat it.

Do any of these terms ring a bell?

Ependymoastrocytoma 

Gliomatosis Cerebri

Neuroepithelial Neoplasms

I have done some research on neuroepithelial  cysts and found that some think the best way is through endoscopic surgery-which is much less invasive. Talk to your surgeon about this most of the time if there is fluid it can be drained this way. I am assuming you have had a cat-scan and pet scan. Please let me know. I wish you well. Sherry

Thank's for the answer! I saw my neurologist in MGH (Massachusetts General Hospital) a week ago and since I don't have any disturbing symptoms (double vision, dizziness, numbness of the limbs etc.), it's OK for me to just wait and go for a follow-up MRI in six months. He mentioned that they rarely treat it surgically because it's invasive and "dangerous". If the cyst is still growing, he mentioned the draining procedure. Are you a med student or just 'generally interested' of the topic?

I'm glad you saw your neurologist, no I'm not a medical student although I kind of wish I had those years back. I'm an RN for many years. I'm sort of semi retired still work but cut my hours and work very closely with pain relief and non-invasive treatments. Glad I could help. Feel better Sherry
