Should arachnoid cyst be removed?

Should arachnoid cyst be removed?

hello!, I have a 3×4×2 cm left occipital arachnoid cyst, and I have a lot of symptoms such as headache, dizziness, numbness in the hands "especially when I wake up", weakness, in addition to ringing in ears, I still don't know if I should do the surgery!

Does anyone have any info. on removal of arachnoid cysts?

btw: im 27 year old, thanks.

an arachnoid cyst should be drained rather than removed.

I see your symptoms are not related to area of vision؛‎ the occipital lobe.. So if ringinging of the ears plus headache are the only symptoms so forget about that small frequently present arachnoid cyst.
