Cysts of pineal gland are usually incidental findings. Most of the times they don't give rise to any symptoms of problems. Your feeling off balance and light headed may not be related to the cyst. The cyst needs treatment only if it is obstructing the brain fluid pathways or causing any abnormal excessive collection of brain fluid (hydrocephalus).
