Hi, Thank you for posting your query. Pineal cysts are often incidental findings, however, in some cases, they are pathological and need to be removed. This depends on the size and whether it is pressing on vital brain structures. Please get her seen by a neurosurgeon for evaluation. Please get back if you require any additional information. Best wishes, Chat Doctor. Ly/
