    Congenital intracranial cystic lesions arise from abnormal embryologic development and present significant neurosurgical challenges.

  • 2

    A dual-axis cisternal classification model was developed to improve surgical planning and predict outcomes based on anatomical localization.

  • 3

    The study analyzed 110 histologically confirmed congenital cystic lesions to assess the clinical utility of the topographic classification.

  • 4

    Cisternal localization is hypothesized to be a better predictor of surgical complexity and recurrence than histological subtype.

  • 5

    The study employed a hybrid design, combining retrospective and prospective data collection to ensure consistent documentation over 16 years.
