====== Colloid Cyst Risk Score ======

The [[Colloid Cyst]] Risk Score (CCRS) can be used to identify symptomatic lesions and stratify the risk of [[obstructive hydrocephalus]] during clinical decision making. [[External validity]] of the CCRS will be necessary before objective surgical indications can be established. Nevertheless, surgical intervention should be considered for all patients with CCRS ≥ 4, as they represent the high-risk subgroup.
