Confused Son with 2 cysts

Hi

I also have been reading the threads/posts on here. My son was diagnosed 4 years ago with 2 archnoid cysts at first we were told he one. Let me state he passed out in school one day this how this all came to be discovered. He was unconcious for well over 20 minutes the medic wasn't sure they'd bring him back...thank god they were able to. I fought with the ER to do a scan (they didn't want to do one) due to a family history of aneurysms and tumors I demanded it as did our family doctor who met us at the ER.
We took him to a few doctors (neurologists included) and they said it's nothing to worry about. I never felt comfortable but after seeing many doctors and getting the same answer I figured they knew what they were talking about. He then passed out a year later for 8 minutes still same answer.
He's now over 18 and I worry about this a lot. I'm wondering if I should take him to an adult neurolgist now that he's over 18.
He has scans every year to monitor the growth and so far they have not grown.
He's had cardic work ups as well which were all fine.
Just wanted to share and get some advice.
Thanks everyone.
