Hi pre55,

Brain cysts are mostly benign.  It depends on its size and location, brain cysts can be symptomatic or asymptomatic.  It's difficult to say whether or not his headache is related to the brain cyst.  It's best for him to go seek medical attention from a neurosurgeon.  If the brain cyst is the cause of his severe headache, surgical intervention may be necessary.  

Good luck.  Thanks for using MedHelp Forum.
