Arachnoid Cyst or just too much fluid?

A neurosurgeon said the he is unsure if my son has an Arachnoid Cyst or just has a lot of fluid there.  He said that since my son isn't really having trouble, we'll just not do anything, but my son is 8 and still urinates on himself almost every night and "something" seems to be wrong - just little things that I can't even always put my finger on...I'm just worried.  Also, my husband has Chiari and I know there is some indication they can be related...  Any suggestions?  Should I take my son for a second opinion, or just watch him?  Should I let them continue to torture him with urology testing when I sincerely believe that is not the issue - but that the issue resides in the back of his brain, like his daddy?
