After looking at the 2ed paragraph of the introduction which is as follows:
"Symptoms can include headache, vertigo, memory deficits, diplopia, behavioral disturbances and in extreme cases, sudden death. The developmental origin is unclear, though they may be of endodermal origin, which would explain the mucin-producing, ciliated cell type. These cysts can be surgically resected, and opinion is divided about the advisability of this."
I am going to NOTE some errors other than the unsupported references.
(1) "Symptoms can include headache, vertigo, memory deficits, diplopia, behavioral disturbances" are caused by the secondary condition that is brought on by the Colloid Cyst which is Hydrocephalus, Hydro, Water on the Brain. You can develop Hydrocephalus for other reason other than a Colloid Cyst and the First sentence needs to be rewritten to clarify with references. Which the one thing the first sentence has that is correct is the fact a Colloid Cyst will eventually cause unexpected death,sudden death and or be the cause of death if left unchecked and removed.
(2)"The developmental origin is unclear, though they may be of endodermal origin, which would explain the mucin-producing, ciliated cell type." <- seriously? If this sentence was completely rewritten in a common tone with references it would read better and probably would be more fact base. where does one start on that with the 'developmental origin is unclear', which is incorrect and not referenced. Part-B of this "which would explain the mucin-producing, ciliated cell type.", is saying something other than what a colloid cyst fills with over time as it enlarges, which for the amusement of the Wikipedia editors:
A Colloid Cyst contents, which appears as a thick yellow green fluid when open has been found to contain numerous constituents derived from the secretions and breakdown products of the epithelial lining, including old blood, hemosiderin within macrophages, cholesterol crystals, CSF, and diverse ions (sodium, magnesium, calcium, copper, silicon, aluminum, iron, and phosphorus), which over time cause the Colloid cyst to enlarge in size over time. [1] [2]
which I can breakdown some of those BIG WORDS into an understandable tone, which is a suggestion also.--Timeholder144 (talk) 13:28, 10 October 2014 (UTC)
The page needs a little general house cleaning from what it was back in 2012, the last sentience in the introduction that says "These cysts can be surgically resected, and opinion is divided about the advisability of this." is very extensively covered in the 2ed part titled "Colloid cyst resection" making the last in the introduction unnecessary, and should be removed, any objections?--Timeholder144 (talk) 20:38, 9 October 2014 (UTC)
The actual NUMBERS are for a Colloid Cyst they account for 0.55 to 2 percent of all intracranial tumors.

Questioning a sentence variability because it holds no reference to the source of data it refers to. where, what county, and how is "These cysts account for approximately 1% of all intracranial tumors." been determined? suggest it be eddited and removed.--Timeholder144 (talk) 12:08, 9 October 2014 (UTC)
I have requested to be Adim to this page between Peerquaide and myself we can add more vital medical information to this other than it's "dry medical overview"Timeholder (talk) 00:15, 15 December 2012 (UTC)
