Default adult choroid plexus cyst ?

Hi I am new here, have a few questions somebody may be able to help me with.
Is a colloid cyst the same as a choroid plexus cyst?

I have had alot of various sensations,, my GP finially sent me to a neurologist, he sent me up mri, this past july. It shows approximatley 12 hperintense lesions within the cerebral white matter including corpus callosum, and findings suspicious for demyelination.
As well within the temporal horn of the left ventricle, there is a lesion measuring 2.5 x 1.6 cm biaxially x 1.1 cm craniocaudal. this contains numerious internal small cystic regions which are best seen on the cocoronal t2 sequence series 3, which suppress on flair sequence. It is t1 hyper intense to grey matter and demonstrates no t1 hyperintensity. It expands the left temporal horn at this level, with suspected obstruction, with the left temporal horn measuring up to 2 cm to be compared to 1 cm on the right at the same level. note gadolinium was not administred,evening case.
This radiologist suspected subependymoma. I also left out spine bulges ,,but one lesion was seen on my spine.


The nerologist set up another mri cause gadolinium was not given.
Results from the second mri sept., as the previous mri ther is a lesion within the temporal horn of the left lateral ventricle measuring 3 cm AP diameter 1.6 cm transverse diameter, and 0.9 cm craniocaudal diameter, this is the same size at the same level on the previous exam. Once again the lesion is of numerous small cystic spaces , the soft tissue componentof the lesion is hyperintense to the brain on flair. The lesion causes expansion of the temporal horn likely causing localized obstruction of the temporal horn, temporal horn is unchanged from prevoius. There is no appreciative enhancement of the lesion with gandolinium. Xanthogranulomas typically enhance therefore is suspected choroid plexus cyst.
Also there are less lesions within the white matter, likely due to thicker slices as same mri was not used ,,first on did thinner slices.


The report from the nerologist to my GP ,,,, the cystic lesion identified in the temporal horn of the left ventricle demonstrates no enhancement and this lesion likely represents a choroid plexus cyst, which is of no clincal significance
As for the other lesions he basically says to take vitamin D

Is the lesion something to worry about or not?
One radiologist says one thing then another another thing,,, who do I beleve?
and measuring,, a person would think they should be the same because 2.5 is not 3 cm , if they can do slices through the brain should not measurement be acurrate? Is this cyst small, med. or large?
I also had a sleep test done last year and was put on a cpac machine,, set at 8 originally ,, then upped to 12 because was still having events,,still tired, could this be cyst related, as well when I have one of my many coughing spells sometimes it is like I am blacking out....
I am off work right now,, but feeling good today but that can changes rapidlly.
I feel like a hypercondract, but have no energy, headache most of the time ,, I thought I had reason found,,, but according to my neurologist nothing to worry, and my GP goes by his report..
I would aprreciate any answers would be help
