Question Colloid Crystal

Hi
I had my uncle of 57 age was suffering visual disturbances & a temporary short loss of control body balance from time to time . He went to doc and a CT shows “colloid crystal in the third ventricle” doctor (neurologist) wrote in the CT report (Attached). Doctor just recommends him to follow-up in 6 months with another CT to check for growth.
I have questions :
1- is the colloid cyst causing visual disturbances & a loss control
2- should he seek out a 2nd opinion or wait for the 6 months ?
3- how danger to remove such cyst?
4-what is recommended in such cases
5- where is the best hospital/doctors for such operation in the world?
6- is the crystal from time of born?


He is pretty nervous. After doing some research via the internet on these cysts I found similar case of member Crystal . What I want to know is what should he do. I would appreciate anyone's comments .
Look forward to getting responses.

Thanks,
Kalida
