pineal gland cist?

Hey I'm 16 and just got an MRI, I get them often and this time a cist appeared in my pineal(sp?) gland. Has this happened to anyone else?

I am 33 and have just had the second seizure of my life.  When I had the first one, a year and a half ago, I was told I had a small cyst on my pineal gland. I was told that it was, probably, nothing to do with my seizure but I might want to get the cyst looked at in the future to make sure it had not changed in size.  I was also told that the chance of me having another seizure was slim to none.  I am at a loss as to what to do?
