Hi!  I have a somewhat similar story.  My son is 19, recently diagnosed bipolar after having a manic episode.  Subsequent to that, we found out he has a 6.5cm X 4cm arachnoid cyst on the right side.  My question is, how is your son doing now? Did you see a neurologist?  We went to a neurologist, but he discounted that the cyst could be causing behavioral changes.  Have an appointment with a neuropsychologist, and am hoping to get some help/answers.

Best of luck to you and your son
