output: hi welcome to icliniq com there are no clear evidence in the literature favoring arachnoid cyst as a primary cause of any psychiatric disturbances having said that its size does affect the lobe functions if it is compressing it so basically if you have symptoms that are not responding to the medical line of treatment then only you should opt for a surgical option
