Independent Validation of the Colloid Cyst Risk Score to Predict Symptoms and Hydrocephalus in Patients with Colloid Cysts of the Third Ventricle.

Authors

Abstract

The Colloid Cyst Risk Score (CCRS) was devised to identify symptomatic colloid cyst patients and stratify risk of hydrocephalus. The CCRS considers patient age, presence of headache, colloid cyst diameter, fluid-attenuated inversion recovery (FLAIR) hyperintensity, and location within the third ventricle.
